Gale’s new eCatalog

Received an email about Gale’s new eCatalog which I almost deleted, but then decided to take a look at.  I thought they did a good job in the email selling it as a green alternative, but was curious to see how useful it’d prove.  It’s actually pretty nifty – you can link to a specific page (and send such links directly to various social networks), and each entry in the page leads out to Gale’s website for more info.  It’s a Flash application (Nxtbook – worth exploring?), which precludes me from highlighting specific text to use with LibX, but I wouldn’t have been able to use LibX with a print catalog either, would I?  And at least after clicking through, then I can use it.  You can search, print (looks great).  Overall a pretty nifty implementation.  And now I have it bookmarked here for future reference 🙂
