Though still under development, an experimental online public access
catalog for the Library of Congress is now available, providing access to
over 4.8 million records (out of 27 million) from the Library of Congress.
Compared to LOCIS, LC's command-driven catalog, this new format is easier
to navigate, allowing users to search by keyword, author, title, ISBN, and
LC class searches, as well as limit by format, date, publisher, and
language. An exciting new feature is the ability to sort results by date,
title, or LC call number, either in ascending or descending order.
Individual records are displayed in hypertext format, making it possible
to jump to other works on the same subject, call number, or by same
author, as well as to link to online texts and images, and view the MARC
(MAchine Readable-Cataloging) formats of any record. Note that at this
time help screens are in development and not yet available. [ADG]
