@usclibraries has prepared a site-agnostic version (8b921dca58871474568d55c825035126bc318c94) of Rice/Rutgers modifications of the Sirsi translator. The translator is intended to cover the most recent iteration of the SirsiDynix OPAC, called eLibrary.

It looks like it can be used as a drop-in replacement for Rice and Rutgers immediately, and it works for USC. The translator still needs some work, since we can probably tear out some of the out code from the original Sirsi translator and streamline this one. More importantly, it doesn't yet work with all eLibrary installations. Joyce at USC pointed out a list of Association of Research Libraries members using SirsiDynix, Unicorn on the list: http://www.librarytechnology.org/arl.pl

Of these installations, the present translator definitely _doesn't_ work with the [Indiana catalog](http://www.iucat.iu.edu/)

We need to review the rest of the major installations and see which ones we're missing, and see how we can shoehorn support for them into a unified translator.
