The good thing about this new program is that the catalog has better search results. I used to enter an item for a subject search and only get items from a title search. Now the subject search works great, but another problem is that if you misspell a search term there are no "suggestions" with correct spellings.
I think amazon.com should sell their database information to libraries so they get an expanded amount of information and subject searchings, except the catalogs would be individualized for each library.
