Virginia's Federated Search Tool: Unifying Access to Transportation Research
This article briefly describes a Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) hosted search interface named VDOT OneSearch. The interface allows a single search to pass to nearly 30 transportation library catalogs, three key Transportation Research Board (TRB) databases—TRIS Online, Research in Progress, and Research Needs Statements—and a dozen other databases and online resources. The vendor, Webfeat, has allowed VDOT to make a demonstration version openly available for beta testing.
