This area summarises the results of the programmes on publisher metadata and interoperability (the PALS programmes). Through these programmes, publishers and libraries have explored how to improve discovery for users by making their systems more interoperable. 

Find out what these programmes achieved and what the individual projects have done. There are links to the many useful resources the projects have created like open source software, tools, guidelines, and demonstrators. This area brings the tangible results together in one place.
