I can answer this: http://www.google.com/search?q=link%3Aislandpines.roblib.upei.ca The search in Google for "show me all pages that link to our catalogue" shows as the fifth link "Island Studies | UPEI Robertson Library" (library.upei.ca/reserves/islandstudies.html) which in turn exposes an RSS feed containing selected books on that subject in the SlimPac interface. From there (and similar reserves lists), Google happily crawls through related authors, subjects, etc... -- Dan Scott Laurentian University
