Open Source Discovery Products (i.e, Next Generation Catalogs)

- VUFind. Apache Solr/Lucene.

- eXtensible Catalog (Mellon funded). Not a product now, but will be one day. XC are currently seeking institutional participation. This will "probably become a player" in the coming years.

- Others, such as Fac-Bac-OPAC, Scriblio (formerly WPopac).

In 2007, world starting to change. Slowly. A few hundred libraries had purchased an open source ILS; 40,000 had purchased a commercial product. In March 2008 -- early adopters are now catalysts for others. There's a small installed base, which makes others see the possibilities as being real. It seems now that we have a bona fide trend.

The ILS industry is "in turmoil". Companies are merging; libraries are faced with fewer choices from commercial vendors; this gives more credence to ILS arena from standpoint of competition.

Q: How close are we to a system that does not utilize MARC records?

A: Not very. We need systems that do MARC, and Dublin Core, and ONYX, and RDF, etc., etc. The value in existing MARC records is too large to ditch. (Of course, it needs to be MARC XML.)
