We use Serials Solutions to manage our databases on the backend. For our website A-Z and category browse, custom PHP scripts use the XML API to generate HTML pages for individual entries and the various lists -- a cron job refreshes the content daily. Our university used to offer a Google search appliance that would regularly index the directory for search, but they discontinued it, so we purchased a subscription to Google site search. Here's our A-Z databases list <http://www.usc.edu/libraries/databases/list_az.php?nav=0-9>. --Joyce On 2/16/2011 1:18 PM, Michele DeSilva wrote: > Hi Code4Lib-ers, > > I want to chime in and say that I, too, enjoyed the streaming archive from the conference. > > I also have a question: my library has a horribly antiquated A to Z list of databases and online resources (it's based in Access). We'd like to do something that looks more modern and is far more user friendly. I found a great article in the Code4Lib journal (issue 12, by Danielle Rosenthal& Mario Bernado) about building a searchable A to Z list using Drupal. I'm also wondering what other institutions have done as far as in-house solutions. I know there're products we could buy, but, like everyone else, we don't have much money at the moment. > > Thanks for any info or advice! > > Michele DeSilva > Central Oregon Community College Library > Emerging Technologies Librarian > 541-383-7565 > [log in to unmask] > -- * * * * * Joyce Ouchida Senior Web Developer USC Libraries phone: 213-821-2298 e-mail: [log in to unmask]
