Hi,

I thought I would send this again since so far I haven't heard from anyone. Unfortunately, we don't have a great deal of money to offer, but I think this would be an interesting project for the right person. It might even be a good project for an LIS student or recent grad looking for something for a resume.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

 OLAC (Online Audiovisual Catalogers) has been investigating the  potential of the FRBR model and a work-centric approach to improve  access to moving images for some time. We are looking for someone to  make a basic but functional demonstration end-user interface for moving  images that is focused on FRBR works and that offers faceted navigation  using sample data for 143 moving image works, 210 manifestations, and
 297 items. Ideally, this will be developed with open source tools such  as MySQL, Solr and Lucene. I have some ideas about what the interface  might look like (see link below) and am looking for someone to put up  something quick and dirty, but functional and interactive so people can  get a better idea of how this might work. This may not turn out to be  anything like what would work for a final user interface, but I am  hoping that it will make the potential for a FRBR-based, faceted  approach clear and make it easier for people to understand the kinds of  searching options we want to provide.

 OLAC has agreed to fund $1500 to be awarded to the individual(s) who  successfully completes this project. More information on and the sample  data for this project are available at
 http://www.olacinc.org/drupal/?q=node/437

 If you are interested in taking this project on, please contact me at  [log in to unmask] via email by Friday, October 22 with a list of your  qualifications, a suggested timeline, and any other information you  think it might be helpful for us to know. We are willing to negotiate on  the timetable, but are interested in having a finished product as soon  as possible. Please contact me if you have any questions.
