26
FINDING 2: SEARCH ALL USAGE
27
* Knowbot’s “See All” link is tracked.
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.
