[LM_NET] Target: Using Gale's Federated Search PowerSearch?

[Sharon Knowles <SKnowles@STEDS.ORG>]

We are considering Thomson Gale's federated search product.  Who uses
PowerSearch or PowerSearchPlus?  I know that some earlier federated
search products by other vendors have met with limited success.

How well is this product working for you? What non-Gale databases have
you been able to incorporate successfully in your searches?
