Two New Online Catalogs from the British Library:

British Library Public Catalogue
  http://blpc.bl.uk/
National Sound Archive Catalogue (Cadensa)
  http://cadensa.bl.uk/

     The British Library has announced the release of two new major
online resources. The new Public Catalogue supercedes the OPAC97
service (reviewed in the May 23, 1997 _Scout Report_) and will be
available 24 hours/ 7 days a week. 
     The new catalog indexes "over 10 million books, journals,
reports, conferences and music scores covering every aspect of human
thought since 1450" and features improved search options. 
     Visitors can order copies of articles and conference papers
direct from the library's Document Supply Centre, while members of
registered organizations may also request material on loan through the
site. 
     The second new resource is a searchable online catalog of almost
2.5 million sound recordings held by the British Library National
Sound Archive (NSA), from pop music to Miss Piggy to tree frogs to
oral histories. At present, users cannot listen to or download these
recordings, but the site does offer information on accessing them at
the NSA and placing orders for copies.
     The catalog is searchable by keyword, name, title, subject,
place, or through an advanced search. The full details for each entry
vary by recording type; most have notes on the contents and the
quality of the recording or the copy when appropriate. [MD]
