I've been a big fan of Endeca for several years. Their guided navigation
model allows us to build a great user experience on top of faceted metadata.
Users can move freely between search and browse, and they can refine their
query criteria in an iterative, interactive fashion without needing to speak
Boolean. Endeca has already been very successful in e-commerce and
enterprise environments. It's just nice seeing some of these ideas come home
to the library.

Thanks, Peter!

Since you posted this, I'd be interested: What is your opinion on Endeca
ProFind for finding books in a large collection? What's special about it,
briefly?

Thanks!
