Hi,
In Ireland there are several e-book aggregators which allow library members to \
download books from a website that is customised to look like the library's own \
website. Is it possible for a library to use more than one aggregator, but present \
the results on one page?
My idea is that the e-book search would be forwarded to the library's own server \
where a script would forward the search to multiple aggregators. The results would be \
returned from the aggregators to the script, perhaps as XML, and the script would \
then sort the results before presenting them to the browser of the client PC.
Is this feasible?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Regards,
John
