Databases and Paperback Books

I'm hoping to start writing regular posts again soon. Until then, two quick notes:

First, our cataloging department has started to catalog some of our databases. You can see examples here.

Second, the cataloging department is also putting a "paperbacks" designation in the MARC record. This means that you can now use our Subject Keyword catalog search to find many of our paperbacks. In addition, when viewing multiple editions, it's easier to see which edition of a book is the paperback version. For an example, do a Title Keyword search for Water for Elephants.
