Dears,
as we see presentations about Solr – I would like to present you in a workshop the OpenSource Addon for Primo which allows search of Solr/Lucene indexes: http://www.exlibrisgroup.org/display/PrimoCC/Primo+CMS+Solr+Websearch+Adaptor.
I will use an example where I have integrated the German National Licenses (http://finden.nationallizenzen.de/ ->licensed publisher data in a Solr/Lucene index) on our local server. I hope you are interested in seeing this.
Best,
Timm
