WSU Libraries' Metalib Wiki

From wsuwiki

Welcome to the WSU Libraries' Metalib Discussion Wiki.

This page is designed for us to share information about the planned federated searching tool called Metalib that is being implemented.

I've also gotten us started with some links to some articles about federated searching, public services, teaching and information literacy.

Please feel free to add additional links and information to this page. Click on the Discussion link above to begin the conversation!
