Why aren't there more choices? --especially under parks? The NPS Digital Library and Browse function are in their infancy. The technology infrastructure is in place to browse every digital resource in the NPS.

Now it's up to the parks and programs to add records and digital images (reports, etc.) to NPS Focus and recommend new subject headings for the Browse trees.
