If you could "publish" these results, including just as a blog post or
whatever, it would be very helpful to me in determining my functional
priorities at my institution. There is some thought of importance of
getting our Blacklight installation to index "see also" terms from
authorities -- any information on how useful those have been found to be
in an academic library environment is useful to me in gauging the true
priority of this feature here.
