Sample 1: A selection of basic books.
- The date in the blue bar is the date of publication
- When the author is in green you can select the author and display information about her/him.
(Note: be wary of these matches of author names to real people - some of them are incorrect. Let me know if I have made an error.
Also let me know if you can identify any of the authors in the Music Sack.
- The quantity following "Number of People" is the number of individuals described in the item
If the number is 500 or fewer you can select this text and display the the names of the people covered in the item.
I set the maximum at 500 to simplify matters. It could be revised upward later.
Try this:
Select any of the books below (or any other book described in the Music Sack), find the same book in the New York Public Library Catalog, and compare the NYPL display with the Music Sack display.
I think the NYPL display is awfull!
