To me Google is the solution, I have a private holding but publish the
catalogue, without google I would get no email requests, proper SEO is
about sensible data on ones web page rather than understanding Googles
algorithms.
I use the webmaster tools they provide and I do notice a steady rise
with occasional jumps when either I do something or Google changes its
algorithm.
Thinking that the librarian is some how the answer misses the most
important points,
why should the user come to you,
how does the user find you have the content,
who is the internet's librarian (possibly the +1 button on websites
will make us ALL the internet librarian)
if your collection is not catalogued (box of letters is is a terrible
description/title) and published how do you expect to get users at
all.
