Bernie,
Interesting. I like the search interface, especially the streamlined design. However, I wonder about giving prominence to being able to search what appears to be WorldCat.
Q.) Is that value added? How many people, or what types of people really want to search for something within the entire world of libraries?
Q.) Are there other new features that I missed?

The new TC3 Library Catalog search went into action very quietly at 4 pm this afternoon. Go to the TC3 Library<http://www.tc3.edu/library/> to see it in action.
