Specific location information appears dynamically as visual floor maps, and text on result screens. This information can also be texted to a mobile device. If an item is not on the shelf, a click on the floor map automatically places a request for the item to be borrowed from another library.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/library.brown.edu\/titles\/\">New Titles<\/a><br>This service, which is updated daily, allows users to browse or search titles cataloged during the previous six months. Users can subscribe to an RSS feed for any browse or combination of search terms. Browsing and search results are filtered by discipline, format, library location, language, topic, subject, name, genre, and geographical place. Disciplines were selected by the Scholarly Resources department and are keyed off call numbers. The subject browse is by main LC subject; the topic browse is by LC subdivison. Behind the scenes and looking to the future, the New Titles service uses Resource Description Framework (RDFa) tagging to expose this content as semantically rich linked data. This service uses the kochief discovery interface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/info\/its\/software\/ocra\/\">Course Reserves<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Past Initiatives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/libweb\/freecite_notice.php\">FreeCite<\/a><br>FreeCite is an open-source application that parses document citations into fielded data.
