My impression, from a recent conversation with a Serials Solutions sales rep, is that Serials Solutions (or one of its 15 parent companies) bought WebFeat, and they will be merging all the WebFeat-exclusive connections into 360. Since we don't have either of those products, I can't say what that means in practice. -- Andrew Ashton Systems Librarian Scribner Library, Skidmore College (518)580-5505 -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Cloutman, David Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 2:43 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Serials Solutions 360 API - PHP classes? Just as a note, before you write your code- We are in the process of evaluating federated search tools, and one item we learned that Serials Solutions and Webfeat are now owned by the same parent company. The stories we are getting from the two vendors are a little different, but essitially what we are hearing is that the two federated searching products will be integrated into a single product within a year, and that the two development teams will be merged. I do not know how this will impact the API for 360 Link, since that appears to be a separate module, but you may want to take this into consideration in planning your development. Good luck with your project, - David --- David Cloutman <[log in to unmask]> Electronic Services Librarian Marin County Free Library
