Infrastructure Development

Here is where you will find the latest, most up-to-date information and work in progress, but it also means that you must be prepared for things to not work all the time. Having said that, if you see something here that is broken, please let us know. Since these are not production services we do not monitor them the same way.

Metasearch Implementations

• Prototype Portal
  This initial (alpha) prototype serves to demonstrate some options we are developing for campus search portal builders (tailoring to a particular discipline with RSS feeds, images, etc.). It is a functioning prototype, so if you wish to see it in action please contact Steve Toub.
