Several of us would really like to link to a catalog results set based on place and subject, for example: Kentucky, Boone - Cemeteries<br>Massachusetts, Suffolk, Boston - Church records | |||

That would be easier than for us to remember and find the time to go see what is new for a particular topic and locality. This would be updated when the catalog is updated. | ||
I haven't tried to link by just subject, but there could be times when we would want to do this for books/records, such as: | |||

Some books/records are not tied to a locality at all. They can't be found in a Place Search, only by Subject, Author or Title. For example: | |||

So people who don't know the author and title would have a hard time finding them without the link to the Subject results set. | So people who don't know the author and title would have a hard time finding them without the link to the Subject results set. Keyword could be useful also. | ||
Currently I don't think we would need the search results by Surname, Title or Author, since we are writing about places and topics/subjects. | |||

:I am not opposed to any other options. The factors would require the link to be permanent (in other words, not changing from the current FHLC to the one in beta). Can you provide links to both catalogs of what you would like to see? It may be helpful to provide steps on how you got the results. It would be nice if I had access to those familiar with both on-line catalogs. When you talk about results based upon "place and subject", are you referring to a "Place Search" and a "Subject Search" or doing a "Place Search" and then drilling down to a subject? It kind of sounds like the latter. Summarizing, "Place", "Subject", and "Keyword" may come in handy, but not "Surname", "Title", and "Author" probably are not useful.
