The San Francisco Public Library has just launched a new way to search the library catalog on our home page.Encore is a different way to search the catalog that is a "discovery tool." It incorporates tag clouds and assists with common mis-spellings. A tag cloud is a just a Web 2.0 way of saying "subject heading."
The new Encore way of searching includes exactly the same information that appears in our normal records. Encore takes information that might of been more difficult to find and rearranges it so it will be easier to locate. It also is easier for the user to fine tune what they are looking for.
You will still be able to search the catalog the old way but please try the Encore way and hopefully it will help you discover new materials that might be of interest to you!
