Hopefully I will be able to blog more in a week or two once I settle in for the semester.

NCSU rolled out a great new catalog today

Published on January 12, 2006 in faceted and OPAC. Closed

The press release is here. This is possibly the nicest library catalog I have seen they use a database/search company instead of a typical opac vendor and appear to have tweaked it extensively. AMong other things, it clusters results based off subject headings, has advanced relavency rankings, and allows browsing of the full collection. It also facilitates browsing in other innovative ways.
