EDINA GetReF

Posted on Friday, 1 August 2008

GetRef is a fully functional cross-searching tool that enables the user to present a simple search string to multiple services and receive the matching results from each.

GetRef is the fruit of the Xgrain (cross-grain) project, which looked at ways to develop a cross-searching (federated searching) mechanism for Abstract and Indexing databases and other bibliographic services in the JISC Information Environment.
