Subject: [CODE4LIB] Seeking examples of outstanding discovery layers

Got a favorite discovery interface?  Send me the URL

I am doing some quick & dirty investigation into libraries that have
successfully and elegantly integrated discovery of various resources,
e.g.:

 - library catalog
 - federated indexing service such as  Serials Solutions or Primo
Central, or a federated search system like Metalib
 - ejournals
 - ebooks
 - libguides
 - library web site
 - worldcat local
 - that kind o' stuff

I am looking for sites that are both nice to look at and seem easy to
use.  I will assume that if you're touting your own site it is
technologically sophisticated.  :-D  Got any faves?

Tania
