I should have guessed Rob was behind the Drupal OPAC stuff - awesome work and always a little ahead of the curve :-)
This is great stuff Rob - UPEI will be moving away from our Sirsi Unicorn system (planned in 2008) and I have been looking at your test OPAC as a great replacement for that part of the whole ILS thing. We are using Drupal as the front-end for a series of Fedora repositories with Lucene as the indexer, so this might work very nicely for us. Using one Drupal interface to search our OPAC and the Repository at the same time would also solve some interesting problems.
My main question on this kind of integration is how you plan to add/edit the records? Are you think of this as an adjunct to a full-blown ILS? I would like to consider it as a replacement, so would be interested in your thoughts on this.
