The session would involve setting up Blacklight UI, getting it to federate content from Google Books/Zemanta, and deploying Fedora repository and Solr search service. The systems would also be deployed […]

The plug-in works with raw XML data as well as an HTTP based GET request to a Solr search server for data. I am happy to run a live demonstration as well.

Also very happy to help with organisation if you like…..
