13 Google sets the bar The product’s design changed more in the last two years than it had in the previous decade. - Jon Wiley, head designer of Google Search http://www.fastcodesign.com/1671425/ho w-googles-designers-are-quietly- overhauling-search#1

14 Presented by Alison Head. ACRL conference, April 11, 2013

15 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.

16 Some findings - Top search terms Jstor Pubmed Leadership Global warming Diabetes Marketing Obesity Psychology Depression

17 Long tail search terms Branding in the Digital Age: You’re Spending Your Money in All the Wrong Places Towards an Ethnographic Approach to Art Therapy Research: People with Psychiatric Disability as Collaborators A method for bias-reduction of sample-based MLE of the autologistic model group therapy native american women effectivness endocrinology prolactin childhood obesity organic baby food
