New JSTOR Sandbox Feature: Faceted Search

This is an interesting new JSTOR "beta" search feature - here is a description:
"After completing a search, users may see how the returned articles are distributed among the categories, or “facets.” The faceted search will show how many results appear in each discipline, how many are book reviews or full-length articles, and how many of articles fall into each decade over the last 400 years, as well as other useful facets.

By selecting the facets, users may narrow results to fit particular characteristics. For instance, clicking on the "French Language" facet, the "Book Review" facet, and the "1950" facet would automatically narrow the search results down to all book reviews written in French in the 1950's."

You can play with this via this link:

Question: would this be worthy to add to our News Blog?
