The document discusses the development of the Resource Disco and Forward projects at the University of Wisconsin. Resource Disco was an experiment to develop a discovery layer for UW System collections, resulting in Forward which provides a single search interface for the UW System catalog, digital collections, and other resources. It describes Forward's features and use of open source software. Next steps may include expanding content, getting user feedback, and releasing a beta interface.
