- Poorly replicated in most online environments
- Access to collection subsets
- Lists are easy to use
- Takes the stacks to the remote patron
- Great for specialist exploring large collection
|

|
- Dynamic content
- Manually created, but not manually maintained
- Opens up print collection
- Uses power of LCSH and LC call numbers
- Easy editing/low maintenance for subject specialist
- Guarantees something relevant is found

- Javascript makes creating menus easy
- Forms make the dropdown menus
- Search syntax complex, but easily edited
- Very little coding is required

- Dynamic content
- No updating necessary as collection changes
- Easy editing/No large scale systems maintenance
- Opens up print collection
- Uses power of LCSH and call numbers
|

|
- Idiosyncratic
- One at a time production
- Not comprehensive across collection
- Relies on creating web page for each new implementation
- Doesn’t scale well in this production mode
- Buried by library’s site architecture
|
31
|
- Similarities
- Based on LC classification schedules
- Uses data that already exists
- No changing of individual catalog records
- Maintenance does not require systems help
- Focus on collection at hand

- Differences
- Mine not global in scope
- Mine placed at point of need/Grassroots solution
- ‘Tertiary’ level browsing
- Michigan maps topics to multiple call # ranges
- I map LCSH/LC#s to topics 1-to-1
- Based on both LC # and LCSH
- No MySQL, perl, or php

- Could LCSH terms/call #s be ‘selected’ or ‘harvested’?
- Search URL generated with correct LCSH appended
- LCSH and URL added to a table/spreadsheet where subject specialist
creates menu term
- Table is mapped to menu on public page. Form already created.

- Even within an LCSH, there is location ‘drift’
- One primary LC #, but many others too
- LCSH ‘differential equations
partial’
- QA377 (main #)
- QC20.7
- QA3
- TA418
- TA347
- QA1
- QC157
- QA11.2

- Not sorting the actual titles by call #
- But producing distributions
- top 3-5 call number ‘areas’ for
browsing
- Histogram??
- SciFinder Scholar, Web of Science
