[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Discovery Layers at Academic Libraries

[Cynthia Williamson]

Hi Kate - We've recently spoken to Serials Solutions about Summon and Ebsco
about Discovery.  I don't know of any library using either of these products
with Evergreen but neither company indicated that there would be any problem
integrating it with their products.  I don't know for sure, but I suspect
there would be a "customization" fee, we currently use Serials Solution's
Webfeat and we had to pay extra to have it customized to search Evergreen.
Webfeat is being "discontinued" hence our looking about for other products.

Cheers, Cynthia
