Blacklight facets work out of the box
We are working on integrating spatial search into Blacklight
Blacklight sorting options are available to help find most useful/newest result
Text search returns scored results from multiple institutions
Search results page with layer bounding boxes viewable on map
Hover over layer shows the layer’s bounding box
Catalog entry page provides more information about the layer and a visualization of it on an interactive map
Adjust layer opacity
Inspect the layer before download
Blacklight tools work! Also new ways to download specific to GIS
Bookmark page also works nicely, allowing users to come back to bookmarked records
