Nat Hist Museum Web Page design and functionality

[James Beach]

Hi --

We are designing the web search interface for a new biological collections
cataloging package (OZ).  I'd be grateful to have your view on which
searching features  (design or functionality) you value the most in a
biological collections database web interface.

Or if a list of useful features doesn't mind, how about a URL of a
collection catalog search page that you find particularly impressive? Go
ahead and blow your trumpet if your web collection catalog search interface
is the epitome of design - and functionality---but tell us why it is!

Thanks.

Jim B.
