rclis is pronounced "reckless" and stands for research in computing, library and information science. rclis is a project to build a database about all current and current and past research in computing and library and information science. The data will be freely available for public and private, commercial and non-commercial purposes. It will serve as a testbed for digital library research. It will initially be released using the public metadata harvesting protocol of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI), using the Academic Metadata Format (AMF). Other delivery mechanisms and metadata formats may be added as time permits.

The primary aim of DOAB is to increase discoverability of Open Access books. Academic publishers are invited to provide metadata of their Open Access books to DOAB. Metadata will be harvestable in order to maximize dissemination, visibility and impact. Aggregators can integrate the records in their commercial services and libraries can integrate the directory into their online catalogues, helping scholars and students to discover the books.

OpenFTS (Open Source Full Text Search engine) is an advanced PostgreSQL-based search engine that provides online indexing of data and relevance ranking for database searching. Close integration with database allows use of metadata to restrict search results.

The University Library has launched a beta version (which means it may be changing!) of a new product to search articles -- and more! ArticlesPlus is perhaps best described as "Google for the library's online content -- without the ads!". From a simple single search box, ArticlesPlus searches full-text content as well as metadata from a wide variety of sources and returns a list of relevancy-ranked results.

Piximilar searches through large image collections, without keywords or metadata, to instantly retrieve visually similar images. Users can search for images by: selecting an existing image in your collection to retrieve similar images uploading their own image to retrieve visually similar images from your collection selecting multiple colours from a simple palette or an advanced colour wheel to retrieve images containing the same colours Piximilar can be used in combination with keywords to refine searches on extremely large collections.
