MyLibrary

For a few days last week I went to Boston College and attended a meeting for the Catholic Research Resources Alliance (CRRA), also known as the “Catholic Portal”. In its present state, the portal is really an  index to rare and unique materials of interest to catholic scholars. The system runs on top of MyLibrary. Presently it ingests data from EAD files, saves the metadata to MyLibrary, indexes the EAD using KinoSearch, provides an SRU interface to the index, and a browsable interface to the database. At the meeting I learned the ingestion process now needs to support MARC records as well as EAD files. I don’t think this will very difficult. On our mark. Get set. Go!
