23.16 Cross-Database Search: The Brain Wave Breaks!

If you haven’t tried the new improved cross-database search on the LCPL homepage, now’s the time. Someone (I presume someone who also takes Zoedoodle for a walk, perhaps along with my fellow Jefferson County commuter) has added categorization to the cross-database search. Now instead of a proof-of-concept, it is much more of a user-focused mashup of LCPL’s valuable database material. It has a Newspaper category – and also categories for Business, Health, Kids and Students. And the results display has been improved too. A mash-up of terabytes of data – sounds 2.0 to me. Useful for research, and yet fun to play with too.
