Presenter: Athena Hoeppner, University of Central Florida Libraries
Their catalog has a search box with multiple tabs representing different search options: Quick Search, Articles, Books/Catalog, Videos, Site Search
QuickSearch is used as default by many but disliked by many librarians
Articles Search used less but may produce better results
Books/catalog very popular w/librarians
Videos search is used little but has big impact on collection use
Site Search not serving users well, and tabs not good location for it
In the future, they will use OPAC analytics and usability testing to track the behavior flow of individual through different search systems and watch usage trends.
Attended by Brian Sternberg, Don Hilliard, Sam Davis and Adam Tuckerman
