Over the past 3 months, the OLAC team has been collaborating
with the digital libraries group at the UPenn Library to provide
"faceted search" over OLAC records. The prototype site is available
here:
http://syslsl01.library.upenn.edu/dla/olac/index.html
The region and archive searches in the main section of the page are a
bit of a distraction. The most interesting search possibilities are
provided by the links on the right hand side of the screen. Each link
creates a filter, and clicking more links adds more filters. You can
turn off the filters by clicking links on the top right. As you
drill-down using these filters, you will see that the available
filters are tailored to the current result set.
Once you click on an item, you will see its metadata displayed in the
main section of the web page, and various options for searching for
related items on the right.
Please take a look, and let me know what you think.
Thanks,
-Steven Bird
