New Tables of Contents

You will now notice that many Chinook records have embedded Table of Contents, containing chapter/article titles and author names, if any. The author names are hyperlinked so that you can navigate from the article author to other works that author may have written. You can also search the chapter titles and chapter authors when known. This may be particularly helpful when you have the citations for chapter titles and authors from a citation database.

Here are a few examples:

Monographs with 2006 imprints have been retrospectively enriched. This test case showed that 15,797 out of 25,248 records (63%) have enriched ToC available. Collection Development set aside funds to provide ongoing ToC enrichment. Acquisitions and C&MS are working out a process for 2007 imprints and new acquisitions. This is made possible through a highly collaborative effort between Acquisitions, C&MS, Collection Development, Reference and Systems departments, in particular John Culshaw and Meredith Callahan.
