Summon/Catalog Item Availability

Description

This project added a new end point to a small custom REST API for Rowan Univeristy Libraries. The purpose of the project is to provide real-time (or near real-time) item availablity of physical items (books, print journals, etc) to the ExLibris/Proquest Summon library discovery platform. This bulk of the heavy lifting of this application uses the Voyager ILS driver from the VUFind project that was modified down to necessary methods and turned into a Service class for the Silex Framework. Using this new VoaygerService, the API end point can query the ExLibris Voyager database directly and can return the results as a JSON response.
