Extending the Library Catalog

Q-Sensei presents new way of searching the Library of Congress catalogue, Q-Sensei, AltSearchEngines (Oct 22)

Here's something that will get library users and authors involved in the library catalog.

"Q-Sensei collects and preprocesses data on literature. To support knowledge sharing about individual records, Q-Sensei has developed an open system that allows users to further enrich each individual record and share their knowledge within an interested community. This allows users, especially authors, to gain control over metadata and to benefit from additional, valuable information that aids searches by also showing editorial reviews, outlines or presentations, links to authors’ or publishers’ websites, as well as institutions that authors are affiliated with."
