We’ve just added lots of search functionality to Phylo. In the display results for any person, you’ll also find links to Worldcat.org, Google Scholar, and Google, which will provide one-click search results on the person you’re interested in. (In time, we’d like to do the same for publications, also providing access to Google Books.)
One of the benefits of Worldcat.org (a free beta version of Worldcat.com) is that the site automatically detects your location based on your IP address. It then asks you to select your library from a list of libraries in your area, and saves this as a preference when you return to the site. From there, you can get one-click access to your library catalog to see whether the source is available. (You can also search other library catalogs as well.) Google Scholar also has similar functionality.
What this means is that for any person (and, in time, publication) in Phylo, you’re two clicks away from finding sources in your own library catalog.
