The term federated search is also known as, meta-search, cross-search, combined-search, and aggregated-search. First, it is about simultaneously searching, with one-click, in several electronic sources. Second, it is about getting all the search results displayed in a single browser. And the book I am reading is Federated Search by Christopher N. Cox
I recommend the book for a basic understanding on the emerging theme of federated search strategies, especially about American academic libraries’ experiences in this sphere.

Mohamed,
You and your readers may be interested to know that I've published a number of reader reviews of articles from Cox's book at the Federated Search Blog: http://federatedsearchblog.com/category/cox-essay-review/
I'm also curious to know if you've run into any other books of particular interest to the federated search community.
Thanks for the lead Sol.
I am aware of your chapterwise analytical reviews of this book. And, I am learning a lot from your site, and from this book by Cox.
Wonder, if there are Canadian studies on this theme?
Best wishes, MT
