Seeking Book Contributors: Implementing Federated Searching Tools
A colleague of mine and I are writing a book entitled "Federated Search: A Librarian's Guide". We are looking for librarians interested in contributing their experience with a Federated Search implementation to the book. The book will will be a guide on selecting and implementing a federated search tool. Additionally, it will summarize our survey of both library practitioners and the federated search vendors to get a complete picture of what the profession is looking for and what the current / forthcoming options are. The aim is to illuminate all of the decisions necessary in order to alleviate the pitfalls of the process.
Quick turnaround time needed.
Please contact me (kewllibrarian01@gmail.com) asap!
Thanks,
Tine Walczyk

Have writer's block? Hopefully this resource will help librarians identify publishing and presentation opportunities in library & information science, as well as other related fields. I will include calls for papers, presentations, participation, reviewers, and other relevant notices that I find on the web. If you find anything to be posted, please drop me a note. thanks -- Corey Seeman, University of Michigan(cseeman@umich.edu)
