My favourite is the San Francisco Public Library, http://sflib1.sfpl.org:82/search

Try searching e.g. golden

Here at the Wellcome Library we are planning something similar for prints,
 paintings, drawings and photographs etc.  It will probably be ready in
 January.  In the meantime my colleague Margaret Savage-Jones has kindly
 said she would be willing to answer queries and give the experimental site
 address (m.savage-jones@xxxxxxxxxx).

I have the impression that III are under-selling this facility.  It saves
 an institution the administrative overhead of buying-in another dedicated
 system, to say nothing of the expense. More important still, it saves the
 user from having to go into a completely separate system with different
 search-rules and design. And it permits seamless integration with the rest
 of the library collection.   That really adds up to something worth shouting
 about: it's not just about book-jackets.
