Ekimp:
I did see the Rakow Digital Collection Trade catalogs, but it doesn’t seem to have the catalogues that I’m interested in that are available if you search in the way I described. For example, if you search the Rakow Digital Collection for St Louis or Baccarat it is empty, whereas there are actually catalogues available from the other search. As those catalogues are already digitised (and have been for years) I don’t know why they wouldn’t be included, it almost like it’s a different collection.

Ailurophile:
Huh! :o   How right you are!   If you go to this page & type in St. Louis, for instance, you get everything they have but as its only 20 items, it isn't too difficult to find the catalogue:

https://cmog.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/collectionDiscovery?vid=01CORNING_INST:01CORNING_INST&query=any,contains,st%20louis

I've sent a query with screenshots to them, in the hope that this can be sorted out.  There is obviously a problem with the algorithm or data input.  I must admit, I was browsing everything they have in the digitised section (which at present isn't too extensive) so hadn't noticed that not insignificant glitch.

I shall cross my fingers.

Ekimp:
Thanks for doing that, be good to have all the digital catalogues in one place. When I tried browsing it was mostly Pyrex  :(

Ailurophile:
Too true!     :(

Ailurophile:
I've had a nice email from CMOG saying they think they've put that right & requesting any further glitches be pointed out to them.   Very polite & emphasising that the digitisation project is in its early stages.

I think there may be a problem with previously digitised catalogues not showing but need to look at it more carefully to be sure.

It will be a remarkable resource.
