Encore/Worldcat local update

I just wanted to let you all that I've had a few tweaks done to Encore.

The LOCATIONS facet now lists many more discreet locations . One of these locations that people may find particularly useful is the INTERNET location...this allows people to limit their search to items available online.

The other enhancement is the addition of the Worldcat Local database link on the right-hand side of the screen from the search results screen. Although not immediately apparent due to the generic Worldcat Local image, this is the link to Next Gen MELVYL. I would have liked to use an image that reflected this, but unfortunately, Encore doesn't support changing this image yet. :( You'll see once you've done a search in Encore, the Worldcat Local link appears on the right with the numbers of items that match your search. Clicking on that takes you to MELVYL's search results. This link only appears from the results list. It will not appear when you've clicked through to a specific title. This is an enhancement we are eagerly awaiting.
