If you haven't already, I'd suggest that you poke around in the IxDA mailing list archives (http://www.ixda.org/). I find that list (and its members) invaluable for design/usability best practices (often backed up with published research). Luke Wroblewski's blog (http://www.lukew.com/ff/index.asp) and book (http://rosenfeldmedia.com/books/webforms/info/description/) might be other good places to look for inspiration. -Sean Sean Hannan Web Developer Sheridan Libraries Johns Hopkins University [log in to unmask] >>> "Walker, David" <[log in to unmask]> 11/14/2008 4:48 PM >>> I'm working on an advanced search screen as part of our WorldCat API project. WorldCat has dozens of indexes and a ton of limiters. So many, in fact, that it's rather daunting trying to design it all in a way that isn't just a big dump of fields and check boxes that only a cataloger could decipher. So I'm looking for examples of good advanced search screens (for bibliographic databases or otherwise) to gain some inspiration.
