The primary goal of Xerxes is to provide a fully customizable and extendable interface to:

1. Commercial library discovery systems, including Summon, Primo, and Ebsco Discovery
2. No-cost web services, such as the Ebsco Integration Toolkit and the Worldcat API
3. Federated search systems, including Metalib and Pazpar2
4. Open source search engines like Solr

The easiest way to get a working copy of this project is to do a recursive clone:
