28  Real Estate  Do we need more space for Articles, Books & Media?  Items  Do we really need all categories?

29  Search boxes on the front page are heavily used.  32% of users search through search boxes.  75% of users search the first two tabs (Search All and Articles).  Search All is 6% ahead of the Articles search.  20% of users search the library catalogs (Towers & MOBIUS).  Searching vs. browsing?  On Search All, clicking links of Articles, Books & Media are about 90% of the traffic.  Redesigning may be needed to address these high demanding areas.  More evaluation is needed.  Circulation data  E-Resource usage data
