- Make sure the package can do search by author, title, and call no.
- Ohio State used to have it (this was in the mid-to-late 70s) so that

- Whoops! I forgot subject and keyword searching. Most pkgs. already
- do that, and it's very useful. (Subject is usually LC subject, keyword
- is what we would think of as more general topic.) Wildcards everywhere
- are nice.
