Index Data has introduced a new service that breaks down the boundaries between library systems and online data sources. Do you have an information source that stubbornly refuses to let itself be integrated into your user portal? Are you frustrated by the lack of standardized APIs to the information sources that you desperately need to access? MasterKey Connect can help.

Charleston Conference, Wednesday, November 2, 2011
Finding the Right Stuff: The Library’s Role in Discovery
Speakers: Roger Schonfeld, ITHAKA; Cody Hanson, University of Minnesota; Sebastian Hammer, Index Data
Index Data has submitted a proposal to the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) beta sprint.
We believe that the DPLA is an important initiative, and we wanted to share our particular perspective on the world of structured data, information retrieval, standards, and open source software. We look forward to following the development of this work in the future.
We are looking for a part-time Connectivity/integration specialist – with the possibility of moving to full time over time. Part of our work is to integrate different information systems. This involves a variety of different tasks, including testing Z39.50/SRU targets using our diagnostic tools, building Connectors for websites using our visual integration environment, working with proprietary APIs, and processing data sets in batch mode.
From the press release:
June 22, 2011
Index Data announces the latest release of their Metaproxy software, with important new functionality.
June 14, 2011
Index Data announces a new Open Source software tool: MKDru, a discovery/metasearch plugin for the popular Drupal Open Source CMS platform. The purpose of the plugin is to allow libraries and others to embed discovery/metasearch functionally directly into their websites.
