...Harvard LibX extension for Firefox. LibX integrates search functions for the Harvard University Library directly into the Firefox software. Under a pilot program launched late last month, a user can right-click on selected text on any Web page and search it against the online HOLLIS library catalog or Google Scholar, a search engine for electronic databases of academic literature. The browser extension can also be used to ease the process of gaining access to fee-based online resources to which Harvard subscribes. By choosing to “Reload this page via Harvard access,” a user...
...More than a catalog of meals, Pork & Sons tells the story of a community bound together by its passion for pork. It can be navigated with the help of an index, but unlike most standard cookbooks, it can also be appreciated as a narrative by reading front-to-back, letting the flavors and insights unfold over the course of 13 chapters.

We can catalog all the dangerous asteroids in the next few decades, but comets are more troublesome, since they come shooting from the dark reaches of the outer solar system. We’d have substantially less warning—a few years, maybe months—about a comet on track for earth...
...Appointed to lead the University Library in 1984 by then-President Derek C. Bok, he is the longest-serving chief librarian in Harvard’s history. During his tenure, the library created the online HOLLIS catalog, constructed the Harvard Depository to contain the overflowing collection, established a preservation program, and embarked on several major electronic projects...
