This is a librarian response. The new library management system did not pull up this article in a lit. search. (The whole state switched over last week). I now went to Library literature and got the citation: Eberhart, George M. 2005. “South Asian Libraries Hit Hard by Tsunami.” American Libraries 36 (2): 10–12 and will add it. Library Literature SH are only South Asia; Disasters; Libraries. So now I had better do a separate search in the LL as well as the new (improved?????) super-search which looks like it is not doing FT searching. Thank you so much. Everyone won't have a you to let them know that the library management systems are dropping information.
I had a big tussle with Ebsco this summer. One of my students had an excellent article about a historical Black museum in St. Petersburg, FL in the journal, Florida Libraries. The only SH Ebsco assigned were "museums," "Virginia," and "construction." I wrote many e-mails to Ebsco because there is the JCLC conf. in St. Petersburg in Feb. and it seemed impt to me that an article about a local museum be found. Eventually they fixed the SH ,but the usefulness of the indexing is waning. Please be the bête noire and make them do better. (Librarian probs).
We had some coverage in the February 2005 issue of "American Libraries," pp. 10-12.
Now updated on website fo rthis substack but not if people just look at today's e-mail version. I am not sure why.

I shall become the bête noire of library management systems.
