DeweyBrowser deployed over two new collections

DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, October 6, 2005—The DeweyBrowser has been deployed over two new collections of resources.

In addition to ebooks, the following collections are now accessible:

• wcat – 2.2 million of the most widely held WorldCat records
• abr14 – selected data from the Abridged Edition 14 of the Dewey Decimal Classification

The wcat collection has been grouped based on the OCLC FRBR work-set algorithm and includes links to the Open WorldCat ‘Find in a Library’ service.

The second new collection, abr14, is a non-bibliographic database which consists of selected data from the Dewey itself.
