[Sigia-l] RE: Books by color

[Candy Schwartz]

The Suffolk Law Library catalog lets you search and limit by binding
colour for many reference books, and the idea of size and colour as book
search attributes for catalogues was actually discussed in the mid to
late 60s. This is the way people remember books. Also, at least one
library catalog (not easily accessible over the Web) has used a
completely graphical interface (not as elegant as the newest, but this
was a decade ahead of its time). Want to look for books on romance? Pick
the two lovers picture. There are also several catalogues which let you
search for books by attributes other than normal (check out Book
Forager: http://www.branching-out.net/forager/index.htm).
