Deep Web

Our catalog is part of the deep or invisible Web. In an effort to make it more visible I've created a Web page that is just a bibliography with links back to the catalog record for LPI publications. It will be interesting to see if and when these publications get indexed by the search engines. Not as good as an API, or OAI-PMH access but something to expose our work.

Added March 20, 2006. I have made a page on Google that holds the links. Now to test how this works.

Good idea, David!

I hate to be a party-pooper, but if the search engine uses the Robots Exclusion Standard, then it won't index it at all:

Thanks for pointing that out. I'd overlooked checking the robots file. Have to move it elsewhere.
