Confused about federated search engines?
Meta search engines?
Portals?

Our advice: before you buy it, make sure it works:

Can the engine search all of your library’s databases using your library’s own authentication?

Not some – all.

Can it seamlessly display both the citation and the full record?
Can it do this for both walk-up and remote users?
Can it do this for all of your databases?

Is it a product or a prototype?
Can the vendor show the product in operation in actual libraries for a year or more?

If you’re serious about federated search engines but unsure about your choices, talk to us – we’ll show you real installations in real libraries with real references.
Still not sure? We'll build a Proof-of-Concept WebFeat system for your library, with your databases and your authentication!

Your library resources are precious. Make sure before you buy.
