NCSU Libraries Butcher the Pig

Andrew Pace of the NCSU Libraries, who has said that making minor  
changes to library catalog systems is like putting lipstick on a pig,  
has unveiled a revolutionary new interface to their catalog based on  
new capabilities provided by Endeca, Inc. For a news release on the  
new system see <http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/news/libraries.php? 
p=1998&more=1http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/news/libraries.php? 
p=1998&more=1>. To use the catalog yourself, see <http:// 
www.lib.ncsu.edu/catalog/>. If you go to <http://www2.lib.ncsu.edu/ 
catalog/> you will see that you don't even need to do a search -- you  
can browse down into the 1.66 million item collection by using the  
Library of Congress Classification system.
