For various purposes, such as tutorials and linking from citation databases, it is highly useful to embed an online catalog search in a web link. The present web-based catalog at Yale, though inadequate in most respects, does support this feature (see examples below). We would like this capability in the CrossPlex implementation of Orbis on the Web.

Barrett, Edwin Shepard. What I Saw at Bull Run. (Keyword search for Record #)

Henry Hurford Janes-Josephine Baker Collection. (Keyword search for Record #)

Orbis Title Search for MONTEREY.

Orbis Author Search for WATERS.
