this class attempts to hide the concept of a collection id from users. each find action's results are grouped in the server under a unique collection id. this id could be used in subsequent calls to refine its content more by entering more specific search criteria. it can also return a new collection by using the subcollection method. each collection has its own current collection id as returned by the SOAP server by using the lower level Biblio class's services and it takes care of freeing this collection in the server upon destruction.
