Friend and colleague Jeff Wisniewski has a terrific article in Internet Reference Services Quarterly (you can see the abstract online here, but the full article is only available in print at the moment - Barco has a subscription). Jeff is the Web Services librarian for the University Library System. In his article Jeff explains in depth how ULS has implemented federated searching and customized the federated search system we use (for non-librarians, "federated search" means having a single search interface that can search multiple databases at the same time). Pitt's federated search is named Zoom and uses federated search technology developed and patented by Webfeat.
Jeff's article about the redesigned ULS website appeared in the University Times in July.
