  7. Google Solution Google spiders crawl content providers’ data and create an index thatour patrons search before going to our content provider to retrieve data.

  8. Google Search Appliance Witness Tampering Getting results is faster and better since the entire data set is already there …relevance ranked and de-duped.

  9. Benefits to Us • Fast Searching • Don’t have to wait for “our” databases to be profiled nor incur additional costs for the privilege • Vendor sites aren’t overwhelmed with meaningless searches • We create and control logical collections and we schedule when spiders crawl for content • We own the solution, we house it

  10. Where we are • Early days of promising talks with Google • Two vendors interested in partnering for proof of concept • Working on role of consortium as “mother ship”
