Got the N

Richard, Lori, and I have been very busy this week. We have just added a new feature that integrates the Novelist database into the catalog. Now when you search for an item you will find an "N" icon either in the hitlist or in the item details page. Clicking on this icon will bring you to the Novelist database and pull up the entry for that particular title. We only have two caveats for this. One, not all titles that show the icon have an actually entry in Novelest, so there are some no results errors. This has to do with a couple of issues that we are looking at. One of them has to do with the ISBN numbers in the records. Caveat number two concerns clicking on the icon in the hitlist, which will first bring you to the item details page and then you must click the "N" icon again to get to Novelist. We are looking at what we can do about this as well. But for now, give it a shot and let us know what you think. Most of the titles we tested had results in Novelist but your results may vary. Either way it is a definite positive for the catalog and a further integration of all our resources.
