    I am working on a project comparing the various federated searching
    products available (both open source and commercial software). I would
    really like to hear what other libraries have used, how happy they are
    with their choice, and what they learned from this process. I am
    particularly interested in hearing feedback on these products:
     
    Open Source Projects:
    Pazpar2 (http://www.indexdata.dk/pazpar2/)
    dbWiz (http://dbwiz.lib.sfu.ca/dbwiz/)
    LibraryFind (http://libraryfind.org/)
     
    Commercial Projects:
    MetaLib (http://exlibrisgroup.com/)
    WebFeat (http://www.webfeat.org/)
    360 Search
    (http://www.serialsolutions.com/ss_360_search_features.html)
     
    Any feedback would be appreciated, including installation, price,
    features, and student responses.
     
    Thanks SO much,
