filtering out book chapters with no meaningful scholarly content
Develop a method for filtering out book chapters with no meaningful scholarly content from CDI (e.g., title page, copyright, acknowledgements, etc.). These tend to glut up search results and confuse library patrons.
For example:
Chapter Title = Acknowledgements
