Summit Catalog Committee Next Generation Summit Search Interface Working Group

Charge and Membership

This group will explore and evaluate various options for providing "next generation" catalog functionality for Summit. "Next generation" functionality could include such features as relevance based searching, faceted browsing, enriched records, spell-checking, and graphical depictions of collections. It will produce a written report that outlines various next-generation solutions compatible with Summit by March 1st 2007. This report will go to SCC and Council for discussion and action.

The working groups are composed of individuals nominated by the Summit Catalog Committee representatives of Alliance institutions; a list of working group members is posted on the SCC web page. Each working group has a liaison who is also a member of the SCC Steering Team. The Steering Team liaisons will be responsible for initially convening the working groups and communicating with the Steering Team about their ongoing progress. Working groups are free to appoint a leader who is different from their liaison to the Steering Team.

Working Group leader: Terry Reese
Steering Team liaisons: Janet Crum and Joe Kiegel.
