[Eril-l] Lib.steps -- any familiarity with this?

[Ours, Mike]

Beth,

I was contacted by a rep from this company as well. I finally looked at the site and it is essentially a federated search for specific publishers. I was given a link to a demo site and  tried several simple searches ("solar system"; "bear habitats") and the results were terrible. The default display seems to have nothing to do with relevance and everything to do with which publisher's site responds first.
I have asked that they not contact me again.

I just got an email from this group. I really have no interest in seriously looking at the product at this time, but am wondering if anyone else knows anything about it. It's the first I've heard of it. Thank you!
