               Subject: searching by colour

    A colleague here at King's has alerted me to a brilliant innovation in
    bibliographic referencing recently put into practice at the library of the
    New England School of Law. Apparently, so many people were asking for books
    of which they only could remember the colour that the Library devised an
    index to help. See and search for yourself, at
    <http://38.232.116.10/screens/well_its_red.html>.

    Yours,
    WM
