Hi Cindy, Both the Ebsco and Proquest APIs are definitely available to customers. We're using the Ebsco one in our Xerxes application, for example. ( I'll send you a link off-list, Cindy.) --Dave ================== David Walker Library Web Services Manager California State University http://xerxes.calstate.edu ________________________________________ From: Code for Libraries [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Cindy Harper [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 9:11 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] Innovative's Synergy Hi All - III is touting their web-services based Synergy product as having the efficiency of a pre-indexed service and the timeliness of a just-in-time service. Does anyone know if the agreements they have made with database vendors to use these web services preclude an organization developing an open-source client to take advantage of those web services? Just curious. I suppose I should direct my question to EBSCO and Proquest directly. Cindy Harper, Systems Librarian Colgate University Libraries [log in to unmask] 315-228-7363
