These contrasting pronouncements on Christopher Columbus's transatlantic navigation in 1492 crystalize the extreme division of opinion that characterized the recent quincentennial. The five-hundredth anniversary of Columbus's first voyage inspired among other things a world's fair, several replicas of the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María, two feature films, and an opera. Commemoration of the event also inspired, in time-honored tradition, the publication of thousands of works dedicated to this major event. Thus although publishing technology is speeding along toward electronic rather than printed images, the fifth centennial of Columbus's voyage has been marked most significantly by the rolling of the presses.

2. Because of nuances in the way the RLIN filing algorithms search a bibliographic record, clusters are not totally synonymous with discrete works. Moreover, because the database preserves the records created at each member institution, the same bibliographic items sometimes appear as separate clusters due to local cataloging procedures or individual interpretations of bibliographic information.
