Source Factory from MuseGlobal
Software checks, maintains, and updates online connections
by Michael Rogers -- Library Journal, 8/15/2002
MuseGlobal has released what it is dubbing the "Source Factory," which the company says automates "the process of checking, maintaining, and updating connections to thousands of electronic information sources." The connections allow the MuseSearch broadcast search tool "to access any networked database, catalog system, or file."
California's Metropolitan Cooperative Library System has retained a consulting and systems integration firm—the Cherry Hill Company—which will employ MuseSearch to assess the status of Z39.50 use in libraries statewide. According to the vendor, "more than 140 California libraries of all types are working with the California Z39.50 Interest Group (CALZIG)."
