I have begun to integrate swish-e and MyLibrary. See:

http://dewey.library.nd.edu/mylibrary/sandbox/search.pl?cmd=about
MyLibrary is a portal application for libraries distributed as open source
software. Written in Perl and relying on a database application such as
MySQL, it provides the means for librarians to create lists of information
resources and allow users to create customizable interfaces to the
libraries. See:
http://dewey.library.nd.edu/mylibrary/
As the collections of information resources in something like MyLibrary grow
so does the need for a searchable interface. Building on the examples
provided in the swish-e distribution, I was able to extract a stream of HTML
from MyLibrary and send it directly to swish-e for indexing. I was then able
to provide a Web interface to the resulting index as illustrated and
described at the URLs above.
I like swish-e. I like it a whole lot. Thank you.
