13 New Catalogues Added to our Library Search Tool
|
We have just completed another expansion of our Quick Query Library Search tool, bringing to 72 the total number of catalogues now available. Additions have been made in all in categories, including four more national union catalogues (Canada, Norway, Czech Republic and Hungary) and 5 university libraries (Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, McGill and Carnegie-Mellon). Specialized collections at the Museum of Modern Art, The Royal Horticultural Society and Hunt Botanical Institute can now also be searched. Another addition is Google Book Search, which covers the world’s largest selection of digitized books and will, we trust, be of interest to many of our users.
Future additions to this list are anticipated and we welcome suggestions regarding any other bibliographic catalogues or databases that would further enhance this research tool. For recommendations or comments of any sort you may contact us HERE .
We would also like to thank Oak Knoll Books for joining us as the sponsor for our library search. Their participation in our site inaugurates a new phase in our growth. In the near future we anticipate opening further opportunities for book-related advertising on viaLibri. If these are of interest please feel free to contact us using the link above.

New Features, More Booksellers
|
A major update to our book metasearch has just been launched, including several new features and internal improvements.
Our most important enhancement is the addition of several more bookselling sites. New to viaLibri are: Amazon (the American, Canadian, British, German and French sites are all searched), Biblion, Uniliber and IOBABooks. Each site brings a significant addition to the variety and quality of our search results. Uniliber and IOBABooks are both operated by independent bookseller associations, something we have always been eager to support. (A third of the sites we now search are operated by similar organisations, all of them committed to high standards on the part of their members).
With these additions, we are now able to offer our users the most complete and diverse selection of old and rare books available anywhere on the internet from a single search form.
The biggest impact to our search results will probably come from the addition of the 5 Amazon sites. We have taken great pains to develop a method for searching Amazon that will yield the most interesting results for bibliophiles and collectors. Using the standard "Rare Books" setting on our search form will generally bring the oldest and most valuable books from Amazon first. This means that it is now possible to include in our results early editions of collected authors that may be offered for sale on Amazon and nowhere else. We think our capabilities in this are unique. Try comparing viaLibri search results for Charles Dickens (any title) with the results from any other metasearch and you will see what we mean.
We have also added several new features that we think will be of interest to our users. These include:
|
Illustrations of selected books displayed with search results.
Clipboard items may now be emailed selectively.
A new search filter that limits results to books with dust jackets only.
The ability to specify how long you are willing to wait for search results.
|
Other new enhancements, many of them invisible, have also been incorporated into this major upgrade. But we are not finished yet. If there is something you would like to see included among our future enhancements please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you.

More Libraries Added to our Library Search Tool.
|
We have just completed a major upgrade of our Quick Query Library Search tool, including more than doubling the number of sites we include. A total of 57 international library union catalogues, bibliographic census catalogues and individual library OPACs can now be searched from a single form. Among the newly added sites are VD16 and EDIT 16 (for sixteenth century German and Italian imprints, respectively), 10 national union catalogues, three national libraries and 20 individual research and university libraries noted for their collections of early and rare books.
We have also added a "Search History" tool that records your recent searches and provides a link to previous results. This link can easily be cut and pasted into email or any other hypertext document, making it possible to provide direct access to the library records of sites whose URLs become invalid after session expiration.
Many of these newly added sites were suggested to us by users. If there is a useful online library catalogue that you would like to see added to our list please let us know.
To use our Quick Query Library Search Tool just click on the "Libraries" tab at the top of the screen. Or click HERE..

Two New Sites Added to viaLibri Meta-Search
|
We are pleased to announce the addition of two more bookselling sites to the dozen already being covered by our rare book meta-search. The new sites are:
antikvariat.net - First established in 1998, this site offers books from approximately 100 Scandinavian booksellers, all of whom are members of the Swedish, Danish, Norwegian or Finnish bookselling associations affiliated with ILAB. A substantial number of the books offered on antikvariat.net will not be found anywhere else on the internet. The quality of their offerings will speak for itself.
Antikbuch24 - One of the most technically advanced antiquarian bookselling sites on the internet, Antikbuch24 offers over three and a half million titles, most of them available from German-speaking booksellers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The books listed on this site are also well-organized by subject matter. By clicking on the link from viaLibri users will not only find the specific book turned up by their initial search, but will at the same time have quick and easy access to lists of related books which may also be of interest to them.
And we are pleased to observe that our European visitors are now at least as numerous as those from America. Our goal is to make viaLibri as useful as possible to all the world's bibliophiles, regardless of their language or geographic location. We hope these two new additions will help advance us towards that goal.
