6. Citation Pearl Growing



For the Citation Pearl Growing search example I chose Books in Print database. I thought I would start with a book by Nicole Engard (I wrote of her previously in this blog, she is a well known expert in the world of open source ILS), and use the book data as the starting point for the search on the web development for the purpose of library and library OPAC. The book title is Library mashups: exploring new ways to deliver library data. I have easily located it in BIP. Some of the tags used by BIP to classify the book are: Internet, Web Sites Design, Libraries, World Wide Web, Computers, Language, Arts & Disciplines. This prompted me to construct an advance search: "internet" AND "libraries" AND "web sites". I obtained 7 books that were very much on the subject.
