The speed of Internet publishing has brought millions of Web pages and thousands of news outlets within reach. From simple, ready-to-view articles to real time news wires and database-driven content services, the Internet has certainly delivered on the quantity side of the equation.

But reaching beyond the unstructured public resources of the World Wide Web, into the deeper domains of the Internet can be a challenge for libraries and research organizations. While finding a viewing static HTML pages is a simple task, accessing the richer and more specialized information of subscription databases, data warehouses, directories or knowledge management systems can be much more difficult.

That’s why today’s rapidly digitizing libraries demand a MetaSearch solution that can:

• Provide aggregated access to all local and global information resources
• Incorporate news and subscription services in real time
• Streamline retrieval with the latest relevancy ranking and result clustering technologies
• Deliver administration tools to develop specialized information domains and targets
• Integrate user sign-in and authentication

BiblioMondo’s ZONE-Pro™, now available as a standalone, platform independent MetaSearch environment, delivers on these requirements by drawing together a powerful arsenal of tools and features within one, unified search and retrieval command center.
