1. Margo has pointed out that I missed a trick in my message about
how to modify searches. Once you've modified & selected, you don't
really have to forward screen by screen -- at that point, thankfully,
all IS an option so you just select all.
This has come up many times, so I've written it up as a FAQ and sent
it to Gordon for the Web. I think in general we should get in the
habit of doing this. We are learning a lot about this OPAC by this
Q&A process, we should make it available to everyone.
