EXTENSIBLE CATALOG (XC) ORGANIZATION WEBSITE AND TOOLKITS

摘要

"Take control" is the motto of the extensible Catalog (XC) Organization, and it embodies the can-do, positive energy that this bold initiative seeks to inspire. The very name of XC expresses the ideal of stretching the boundaries of closed catalog systems, and extending the reach and connectivity of our data and software. I wanted to find out more about XC because my library is a member of the VALE New Jersey academic library consortium's Open-source Library System (OLS) Steering Committee, which is currently reviewing discovery tools, such as Vufind and Blacklight, and we heard that XC had a promising new approach designed for Drupal.
