ELibrary development...

I am working on a Google App Engine ELibrary application that provides a way to leverage Google's infrastructure so that libraries and other organizations can organize and access their electronic and paper materials. I have already built a very simple ELibrary that meets the requirements from a simple ELibrary collection plan I wrote for the library. I still haven't received my full Google App Engine access so I am just deploying the application on the test Linux server I have been developing on.

I am trying to expand the functionality of the ELibrary by creating a Dublin Core data model for resources. I have also began a MODS data model as well. Since I already have a collection of library records for the former Quaker Meeting I attended in Salt Lake, I plan importing them into the Google data model as a test collection for the ELibrary.

Fun stuff.
