This product will typically be used by libraries wanting to give their patrons a Virtual and Enhanced search experience.

This product contains all the features required of professional libraries wanting to go to the level of providing an intergrated Federated Search engine as part of the patron's normal OPAC experience.

WHEN V-LIBRARY OPENSEARCH IS INSTALLED IN;

  • Large departmental offices
  • Government offices.
  • Legal offices.
  • Medical Institutions including Hospitals.
  • Essentially any local network.
  • Wide area networks.
  • Distributed networks.

WHERE THERE ARE VERY LARGE VOLUMES OF:

  • Documents.
  • Digital content
  • Multiple SQL databases
  • OLEDB compliant databases

Your experience with information and doucment retrieval will be taken to a new level with speed and functionality.

A robust and powerful search engine is required to not only search and retrieve documents and information from these large stores at a click of a button, but to also permit annotation of this information if necessary with predefined "Library of Congress" classification rules with additional notes, words and phrases not necessarily contained in the original source document but pertaining to and relating to the source document.

Users may also want to add additional notes, words and phrases commonly used by industry or education curriculum departments or bodies pointing to specific digital content thus making it easier for non technical staff to retrieve this information.

This product needs to be run on a full MS-SQL2005 database engine.

This has absolutely no restriction on patron numbers, bibliographic or authority file entries across the entire database. There are also no restrictions on the number of sites or logical libraries. It is in essence only limited by your physical hardware.

v-Library Open Search is more powerful and provides much more speed, performance and features than Google’s search appliance for enterprise and wide area networks.
