Dear Readers,

Many pages of the ANS website now have a
button that facilitates bookmarking and sharing links to individual
pages and records in the collections database.

For example, http://www.numismatics.org/index.php?n=Library has a
small plus sign against an orange background at the end of the left-
hand navigation menu. Moving the mouse over this icon will show a
visual menu allowing you to add this page to your bookmarks, e-mail
the URL to yourself or someone else, or save the link via third-party
services such as Google Bookmarks.

I am also integrating this functionality into the collections database.

Go to:
http://numismatics.org/collection?kw=lincoln

[Please note that this link is to a new version of the database that
remains under development.]

You will see that each record has a "Share" button with the plus-sign
logo. Again, this button brings up a menu that allows linking and
sharing. The main difference is that you are saving a direct link to
the individual record in the database.

It may be that this feature largely explains itself once you use it
so please give it a try. If you want to understand how it works,
click on the small "AddThis" link at the lower-right of the pop-up menu.

I hope this feature is useful.

-Sebastian
