We’re pleased to announce that we have managed the last major task of the project – a union search across the library catalogue and a repository index. We’ve taken a small extract from our repository and re-indexed it using field names in common with the library Solr index to produce a single, combined index.
We’ve also solved a little mystery that we had over why the facet counts didn’t match the content of our libraries! Hull’s libraries don’t use the default MARC field for format and language and for BL@T we were indexing the wrong one… Oops!
