Recent new Serials Solutions Study A few of the things we’ve learned in analyzing this data are that: Searchers more often use Natural Language Queries, rather than controlled vocabularies They use the single search box as they would Google. Over 60% of queries are 1 – 3 words Less than 5% of queries ever use truncation and less than 2% use the Boolean operator “not” And a significant percentage of queries are for databases by name (JSTOR, ScienceDirect, etc.) and a significant percentage are cut and paste citations or full-text snippets Ultimately this helps us continuously improve the Summon research experience, which leads to better student outcomes.
