 I haven't used [http://www.aquabrowser.com Aquabrowser] first hand, but it's worth looking into.  It's a user interface that sits on top of an existing library catalog.  Users search the online catalog and get results in visual form (a "word cloud"). If you've used [http://www.kartoo.com Kartoo], you'll see a similarity.  The results show associations, including shades of meaning and related spellings.   Ellie
