NCSU rolled out a great new catalog today

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.
