Ciao a tutti!
Visitando la pagina di FTL, avevo compilato il form di segnalazione dell'OPAC SBN per richiedere il suo inserimento nell'elenco delle biblioteche alle quali rinviare. Al momento mi e' sembrata semplicemente una cosa da fare, e non ho pensato, come adesso che ho ricevuto la risposta, che probabilmente ci avevate gia' pensato.
In ogni caso, vi giro la risposta che ho ricevuto da John Ockerbloom. Anche questo e' un pezzo del mosaico.

Thanks for requesting this! For the moment, I'm not including most non-English-language catalogs, because most of the search terms aren't in English, and therefore trying to forward English search terms, as I'm doing now with FTL, will yield misleadingly limited results. (I tried some sample searches on OPAC SBN, and often got few or no results when I knew there were relevant works included in the catalog.)
I am investigating ways that might work to translate search terms to appropriate terms in other languages, and will announce if I make any progress here that would prompt me to accommodate non-English-language catalogs. In addition, I am starting to share my code and data so that others will eventually be able to implement similar forwarding services elsewhere (such as on the Italian Wikipedia).
I hope this helps. Thank you for your understanding.
