reSearcher - Open Source Electronic IR/IM Tools
http://www.theresearcher.ca/index.html

reSearcher is an award-winning integrated suite of open source tools for locating and managing electronic information resources, designed for use by students and researchers in academic libraries. The four main modules of reSearcher are: 1) GODOT, a full-text link resolver and interlibrary holdings locator and requesting system. 2) CUFTS, a full-text link resolver, knowledgebase, and electronic collection management tool, 3) Citation Manager, a tool for capturing, managing and exporting bibliographic data in a wide range of formats, and 4) dbWiz, a cross-database search tool. reSearcher enables academic libraries to provide students and researchers with streamlined access to an integrated array of information resources. Together, reSearcher's components deliver rich portal-type functionality, presenting a unified interface to research databases, library and union catalogues, internet search engines, and other electronic information sources. reSearcher is developed by Simon Fraser University Library for the Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL). reSearcher is used daily by students, faculty, and staff in universities, colleges, university-colleges and institutes throughout Western Canada. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This will be added to Academic Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.
