Thanks Superpatron for nudging me via Rebecca's pocket to find the booklists at waterboro public library and Morton Grove Public Library where I actually found a list of cat character mystery books. Now I just need time to peruse that list (trying not to feel pessimistic about the chances of finding copies in my local library - although I have discovered that CHRLC have actually stopped charging reservation fees!), and then find cats in other genres.
Now imagine if library catalogues had a field for booklists (like those LoC subject headings). Of course tagging methods might address this need - but they're vulnerable to spelling variations ... I wonder how Hennepin have combined some of their "If you liked..." lists with their catalogue (like the If you liked ... The Lord of the Rings - anyone tell me?
