		<title>New code repository for Collex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are interested in an anonymous checkout of Collex, the new repository can be found at
svn://nines.performantsoftware.com/collex/trunk/web
We have worked to generalize the tool so that you can install a more generic version, without NINES-specific information. Please direct questions to technologies at nines dot org.

		<title>The Collex Name Browser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

NINES has been investigating new ways to facilitate browsing in the Collex interface, resulting in a new, experimental feature, the name browser, as a way to target authors, editors and publishers associated with a set of results.
Once a user has begun a search, the new browser will be offered below the constraints table. Opening this [...]]]></description>

		<title>New feature: footnotes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the most recent wave of Exhibit Builder development in Collex, the NINES development team experimented with a number of exhibit types, including annotated bibliographies, essays, presentations, and thematic tours of our partner sites. In doing so, we determined that footnotes were a crucial feature of academic argument, and required even outside the confines of [...]]]></description>

		<title>New and improved exhibit setup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The development team at NINES has been investigating ways to make the Collex exhibit building process easier and more streamlined. We&#8217;ve come up with a new Exhibit Wizard to guide each user through the creation of a new exhibit.

For those of you who are regular users of the NINES Collex interface, things are going to change [...]]]></description>

		<title>The case for structured data</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As the number of projects contributing to NINES grows, more and more I find myself answering questions about structured data. Why XML?  How does one choose between formats like that of the Text Encoding Initiative and other databases?
These are good questions, and can be hard to answer without using even more acronyms and alienating technical terminology. Recently, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Usability Testing for Collex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the 2008 NINES Summer Workshop we put Collex to the test &#8211; a usability test. As we plan for the redesign and official release of Collex in December 2008, the NINES tech team decided it was time to get some honest feedback from users unfamiliar with Collex. Thanks to Dr. Laura Mandell, Associate Director [...]]]></description>

		<title>“a scholar’s guide”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A quick (and tardy) note here to say that an article I wrote last year, describing the NINES instance of Collex, has been published: “A Scholar’s Guide to Research, Collaboration, and Publication in NINES”.  I had a little fun with self-reflexivity when writing it — knowing that it would appear in NINES — and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blacklight goes legit.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Project Blacklight, the Collex spin-off Solr/Rails-based library catalog system we’ve mentioned around here before, is now officially open source and available, with a dayglow website, no less! It’s mostly a labor of love for the developers involved, so there’s not much yet in the way of documentation, but there is a mailing list and you [...]]]></description>
