Hi, Isabelle.

These questions are probably better asked on the blacklight mailing list, which you can join here: https://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=5235

In short, though, the answers to all your questions are yes, except for OpenURL. There's no reason it couldn't handle OpenURL, we just haven't done it yet. I'd be very happy to talk to you more about Blacklight, and I'm happy to say we have a new and vastly improved release coming out in the next couple of weeks.

See you on the Blacklight mailing list!

Hi,

I'm in the process of evaluating Blacklight as an open-source opac. I'm
looking for some information. Can someone answer the following
questions:

-       Can it display in multiple languages?
-       Does it provide ranking?
-       Does it support linking to OpenURL link resolver?
-       Does it support Boolean, proximity, range and fuzzy searching?
-       Can user use the interface while new records are being
input/indexed?
-       Does it provide links for linking fields (MARC 856)

Thank you!

Isabelle Julian
