Just popped up in my rss feeds... timely after our discussion about the mobile site yesterday.

I realy like some of what Plymouth State is doing to allow browsing by LC subject. If you click, for examle, Sociology, you are taken to a sort of socioloy portal that contains links to course guidelines, relevant databases, pre-populated searches of the OPAC, reference materials, websites, and the sociology librarian's contact info. Click on a pre-populated OPAC search and you are able to broaden/narrow the search by clicking tags as well as bookmark or choose from RSS options.
