I was excited to finally get a peek at the University of Chicago Library‘s experimental new search interface for their catalog, which they’ve named Lens. Basically it’s a souped up or customized version of Aquabrowser. I have only just started to poke through it but visually and functionally, it looks great. Those who attend Code4Lib 2008 might get a chance (if the program proposal is approved) to hear Tod Olson @ UChicago and someone from Aquabrowser talk about the work they did with it.

Oh my gosh, I hope that Tod’s proposal gets approved. Are you coming out for Code4Lib? I’d love to see you, and Tod. I miss the glory days of library school quite a bit.
