Ft
Lauderdale, FL USA January 10, 2003 — Southeast Florida Library Information
Network (SEFLIN) has released its next-generation Mi Servicio de Biblioteca
WebFeat system (www.miserviciobiblioteca.org), enabling Southeast Floridians to simultaneously
search key Spanish language information sources from a single intuitive
interface.
“We are very excited to make
this groundbreaking system available to our users,” Tom Sloan, Executive
Director of SEFLIN, “for the first time, our Spanish speaking community
has a state-of-the-art information system designed specifically to meet
their needs.”
Mi Servicio de Biblioteca builds
on SEFLIN’s landmark MyLibraryService.org system,
introduced last year. MyLibraryService.org enables users to access all
25 SEFLIN member library catalogs, plus selected other Web resources simultaneously,
with a single search. Both MyLibraryService.org and MiServiciodeBiblioteca.org
use the WebFeat Usage Tracker, “WUT,” to track and report usage of all
catalogs and information resources.
“We believe this is an important
next step in the development of knowledge systems,” said Todd Miller, Founder
and CEO of WebFeat, “MiServiciodeBiblioteca.org demonstrates that WebFeat
is a global solution, offering federated searching for all databases in
all languages.”
