[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Here we grow again! Link checker functionality in Evergreen

[Suzannah Lipscomb]

Equinox Software, Inc. <cid:part1.04080708.08070406 at esilibrary.com> is 
excited to announce the development of link checker functionality in 
Evergreen <cid:part2.02060900.04080106 at esilibrary.com>. Evergreen 
currently has no built-in mechanism for verifying the validity of URLs 
stored in MARC records. The ability to verify URLs will be of particular 
benefit to locations with large electronic resource collections. The 
requirements for this project are being developed in partnership with 
NRCan Library <http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/library/index-eng.htm> and 
Statistics Canada Library <cid:part4.02030704.05070506 at esilibrary.com>. 
The technical specifications for this project will be shared with the 
Evergreen Community once they are ready. Equinox developers estimate 
that coding will be completed no later than the end of the third quarter 
of 2012.

Once the coding is finished, the code will be submitted to launchpad 
<cid:part5.00070401.06040706 at esilibrary.com>, where another developer 
will need to review and approve it. Once it has been signed off on by 
another developer, it can be included in the next major release of 
Evergreen. End user documentation will also be made available to the 
Evergreen Community. For additional information, contact George 
Duimovich, NRCan Library, or Suzannah Lipscomb, Equinox Software.

Regards,
Suzannah
