The eXtensible Catalog is an open source software project that has the potential of meeting the needs of the 21st Century OPAC.
The eXtensible Catalog (XC) is open source, user-centered, next generation software for libraries. XC provides an alternative discovery interface for users and a set of tools for libraries to manage metadata and build applications. XC comprises four software toolkits that can be used independently to address a particular need or combined to provide an end-to-end discovery system to connect library users with resources.
