Pat's suggestion sounds good.  I like the idea of having choices to 
sort.  I know the research scientists in my library would prefer 
options.  Yesterday when I did a test search using "dogs" results equaled 
over 250 hits.  Some form of sorting would be beneficial if not only to 
list be year of publication.

thanks for the quick responses.
