University of Rochester / River Campus Libraries Early Prototypes SARA Home-made metasearch to show what we have (catalog content, webpages, course pages, videos, etc) Showed number of hits from each index (title, author, subject) without user picking one Sends multiple concurrent queries to the ILS system and returns hit counts

University of Rochester / River Campus Libraries Early Prototypes CUIPID 2 Small collection MARCXML Used trial version of TextML (IXIASOFT) to create index Showed number of hits from each index (title, author, subject) without user picking one Expected better performance Same features as CUIPID 1
