The Aquabrowser catalgoue interface is not only killer but its wicked fun. A read about this catalogue awhile ago after a friend sent me some information from a conference he attended. I have to say the Aquabrowser would fit perfectly at HCT. Since the majority of our students are learning english it can be difficult to create search strings, especially if your first search comes up short. The beauty of Aquabrowser is it provides words that can extend your search. Yes I know there are other catalogs that do this as well (Encore) but they lack the personality of Aquabrowser. Nothing beats clicking on a link and watching your list of words readjust giving you brand new search opportunites. I fully believe this would enhance our students search experience and maybe allow them to find some material they didn't know of before.
