[Dtb-talk] RNIB library added to federated search

[Greg Kearney]

I have added the RNIB library in the United Kingdom to the federated search system of accessible books (braille, DAISY, etc.). I have also added features to limit the search to particular fields such as title and author.

You can now also use the z39.50 proxy to address the specific servers directly without having to search all the services.

finally I have added an Australia wide search to demonstrate the use of collections of searches. These could be done by language groups, all libraries holding titles in German for example, or groups of national libraries, all the Scandinavian libraries or all the talking book libraries in the Commonwealth and so on
