Our search pages make sense to staff (well, for the most part), and perhaps to some regular users, but when the general populous is used to easy-to-use search interfaces such as google, then do we need to think about where we are headed in terms of re-design. As for the concept of searching as a part of learning, I will be pondering on ways to encourage refinement of that process as it is an ongoing issue for all libraries. From an Insite perspective, we have council staff contacting us to say, I can't get this for free on the internet, can you source it for me? and lo and behold it is available through one of our databases. How do we make the search process easier for Council staff, for researchers, for students, for users in general?
