Interesting announcement on Library Journal yesterday from Marshall Breeding: Innovative Interfaces owner and co-founder Jerry Kline is launching a new bibliographic utility intended to compete directly with OCLC. Called SkyRiver, the utilty is already fully operational and is being used by library development partners for cataloging. Technology infrastructure and support is contracted from Innovative, and the service will launch its website at http://theskyriver.com on Friday, October 9.
SkyRiver differs from LibLime’s biblios.net in that it offers more functionality. However, the service is not intended to enable interlibrary loan or function as a discovery service for patrons. Read more about this development at Library Journal.
