Shouldn't that be 'motherLODE'?? The other word is quite apposite too (ask any mother..)

Yes, this is good news, particularly for the lay public who do not have access to OCLC FirstSearch. However, it is not a substitute for using FirstSearch to search WorldCat. I recommend researchers in universities to use the Advanced Search function if they wish to make sure they find what they are looking for.
