Automating Withdrawn Actions: Maximixing the Long Tail of Acquisitions


Libraries place a good deal of emphasis on collection development policies — a written statement of a library’s intentions for building its collection. It describes the collection’s strengths and weaknesses and provides guidelines for the purchase (”acquisition”) and disposition (”weeding”) of content. This is an activity that sets libraries apart from other organizations.

Services in a Service Oriented Architecture


This post is the second in a series about the application of the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) system design pattern to library services. The first post in this series focused on defining “Service Oriented Architecture” using the analogy of a transportation network. This post goes into some detail about what makes a “service” in this architecture and offers an example using a hypothetical use case: a union library catalog (Open WorldCat) making a statement about the availability of a book.
