Re: Re: Google Search Appliance and OPACs

 
  This may have been mentioned earlier in this thread. My
apologies if I missed it.
   
  NELLCO's experiment with the Google Search Appliance (GSA)
failed. I guess it worked well from a technical perspective,
but NELLCO thoght Google's GSA pricing model was
cost-prohibitive on a larger scale.
   
  For the current $364K IMLS national leadership grant,
NELLCO is working with Index Data.

Someone sent me a correction privately -- the GSA experiment
was 
conducted by the Franklin Pierce Law Center. Thank you,
Karen M., for 
refreshing my memory.
