RE: Looking for a Mil Media site

["Jeanette Berard" <JBERARD@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Very nice site, but not what I was looking for - the one I had seen has
a _copy_ of the bib info literally in as part of the full size image
when one clicks to "view image."

The SFPL site is very interesting, in that it seems to use the "book
jacket" view capability instead of the mil media thumbnail.  This is a
pretty creative use, and results in a different type of brief display,
which is quite attractive.

I'd still like to hear from anyone who recognizes the other site!
Happy Friday,
Jeanette

My favourite is the San Francisco Public Library,
http://sflib1.sfpl.org:82/search 

Try searching e.g. golden

Here at the Wellcome Library we are planning something similar for
prints,
 paintings, drawings and photographs etc.  It will probably be ready
in
 January.  In the meantime my colleague Margaret Savage-Jones has
kindly
 said she would be willing to answer queries and give the experimental
site
 address (m.savage-jones@xxxxxxxxxx).

I have the impression that III are under-selling this facility.  It
saves
 an institution the administrative overhead of buying-in another
dedicated
 system, to say nothing of the expense. More important still, it saves
the
 user from having to go into a completely separate system with
different
 search-rules and design. And it permits seamless integration with the
rest
 of the library collection.   That really adds up to something worth
shouting
 about: it's not just about book-jackets.
