NEW v6.3 BookReader integration revolutionizes LUNA!

The BookReader integrates the discovery and display of compound objects such as books, manuscripts, and newspapers in LUNA. LUNA's new BookReader allows users to search inside a book, turn its pages, and zoom into the text. Of course. And because our BookReader is a part of the amazing LUNA browser, its added features make it rise above the competition. In addition to descriptive data, BookReader objects are indexed for full text searching. See examples.

Build your own BookReader objects or add Internet Archive titles to your LUNA Collections.

Also integral to the v6.3 release, LUNA collections can now be exposed to OAI-PMH harvesters such as OAIster which feeds WorldCat.org. RSS feeds introduce additional flexibility.
