Since Brent's email address is not included I cannot respond directly to
him...

Searches like this are often easier and quicker (either as subject or
keyword searches) in the OPAC.  You can mark the result of each search 
for export and eliminate duplicate entries in V > VIEW marked records, 
S > SORT by TITLE, Remove Duplicate.  As far as I know this facility is
only available in the telnet version of OPAC.  You can then toggle to
staff mode and export the file to a review file where further manipulation
is possible.  Sorting records in a review file by the record number brings
duplicate entries together but I don't think you can eliminate them by
sorting and re-sorting - unless it's an undocumented R2K feature!
