The Extensible Catalog Project, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, provides open-source tools for resource discovery and metadata management aimed at libraries. The project includes a customizable, faceted search interface along with a metadata services toolkit to facilitate aggregation and normalization. It features integration with library websites and support for learning management systems, enhancing user-generated metadata capabilities.
