Federated search: hats off to the U of Wisconsin!

I have great admiration for the University of Wisconsin Libraries, and their willingness to share information on their various projects (I should send them a fan letter sometime.) Their materials have helped me more than once. This time my hat (black fleece, since it's below zero) is off to their Metalib Assessment project. This year they've been assessing their federated search product, Metalib. And they're terrific enough to share their working bibliographies and other documents. We're thinking of assessing our federated search product (we have CentralSearch), and some of the conversations stray away from actual assessment of the product. The UW Libraries are providing a great example. Thanks to them!
