    This is a very interesting lens and it's nice to see someone in a traditional profession taking advantage of the technology available out there today! :) Here's another site I would recommend for other librarians out there - it's infloox.com and is quite useful as a literary search engine tool. English lit students and teachers should find it helpful for their research too, I should think.
