Multisearch Journal Article Search Trial: Update

Posted: August 28th, 2006

Our thanks to all students, faculty and staff who participated in this summer’s four-week trial of the MultiSearch cross-database search engine (see trial description). The feedback we received, by way of responses to the online survey, has been interesting and informative. Indeed, based on this feedback, we will be retaining a link to MultiSearch both on the Library homepage (via the “quick search” box) and on the Find Journal Articles (& More) site. The links will remain until December 15, 2006 so that we can continue to evaluate MultiSearch prior to the subscription renewal date in the new year.

Survey Draw Winners

Congratulations to the four survey respondents who were winners in our weekly draw for a $25.00 Library Plus print/photocopy card: Julie Burghardt, Jill Scott, James Hur, and Eden Siwik.

Opportunity Continues to Provide Feedback on MultiSearch

We welcome ongoing comments about this beta journal article search engine. Our online survey — at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=980122491351 — remains open 24×7 for feedback from members of the Queen’s community.
