11 For example, the advanced search engine of the University of Central Florida Libraries offers users three basic windows – each with the same pull-down menu, allowing choices of keyword, title, journal title, author, subject heading, and several types of catalog numbers – that may be combined as the user sees fit. Four additional windows can limit the search to various physical locations within the UCF library, the format of the item sought, its language, and year of publication. Alternately, one additional window allows users to create Boolean searches, accessed 15 January 2020, https://ucf.catalog.fcla.edu/cf.jsp?ADV=S&fl=bo.

12 The entries for ‘Breuning, Stephan von’ and ‘Kerman, Joseph’ each include a German publication with that incorrect formulation in their respective bibliographies, while the entries for ‘Wehrmann, Henry W., Jr’. and ‘Eschenbach, Christoph’ both contain this same misspelling within the bodies of their respective texts.

15 Confusing matters further, the ‘DOI’ web addresses for both versions of the ‘Weber family’ essays are identical, and one must look at the ‘Published in Print’ date and the link to either the ‘previous version’ or the ‘latest version’ to be certain as to which version one is reading.

Remarkably, even searching the exact text string ‘Mercadante, (Giuseppe) Saverio (opera)’ finds only the Whittmann article. Clearly, the OMO's taxonomy has forced the older article by Rose into a subsidiary position, where it can be accessed only through the newer Whittmann article.
