Metasearch is still controversial in many parts of the library community. In this presentation, David will examine some of the arguments surrounding metasearch, offering a more expansive set of goals and benefits than has been traditionally advocated. He will showcase his work using the MetaLib X-Server to integrate metasearching with other systems and data in order to provide a richer end-user experience.
