LibLime, a US-based provider of open source library software, and Arcadia University have announced that the Landman Library Catalog has gone live. Landman Library is a collection of online resources, databases (proprietary and open content) and the library catalogue, accessible to all Arcadia University faculty and students. The Landman Library Catalog search provides a fast, user-friendly search interface to the entire collection.
The catalogue was developed in-house by Arcadia University using Pazpar2, an open-source middleware technology created by LibLime's partner, Index Data. Access to subscription content is provided by OpenTranslators, a new web service offered by LibLime that offers a simple gateway interface to over 9,000 subscription databases.
Arcadia University's Landman Library seeks to offer students and faculty the latest technology for collaborative education, with web-based teaching and learning tools providing access both on campus and around the globe. It allows students to quickly search the library's collection of databases via an interface built using the latest Javascript technologies. The new website offers an easy-to-navigate interface with resources grouped by subject. It also provides an interface for students with disabilities to have easy access to that same information.
