RuthOk so how many people on here are librarians or libtech who are sighing, breathing, and explaining what the heck federation means? WE'VE BEEN TRAINING OUR WHOLE LIVES FOR THIS MOMENT.
blue teach@ruth Go on. What's federation mean? :smiley:
@Blueteach it means bringing a whole bunch of independent/separate things together into a single place where people can search them. In libraries, this means we might bring in our book records + our journal records + some other resource and you can search against all those indices. We may or may not separate results by time. It can be a MESS. ...or amazing. And either way we have to explain how it works a lot. :nerd:
