Title
Boxing clever: how searchers use and adapt to a one-box library search
Abstract
One of the major problems users experience searching for information in libraries is the number of places they have to search. It has long been posited that a single search box (like Google) that searched a range of library resources would solve these problems and make users more effective information seekers in libraries. In this paper we use log analysis to compare user search behaviour in a single search box system with that in a traditional library catalogue. We discover that behaviour varies in response to the results produced by the different systems.
