  24. How does it affect instruction?

  25. Less click-by-click instruction User does not leave IDS Search to use other services (OPAC, World Cat, ILLiad, spell check) Focus on research concepts not Web site navigation. As IDS Search is user friendly, can introduce ILL at earlier stages. Information Literacy Instruction

  26. IDS Search and Reference Integrates ILL functionality into time sensitive reference transaction. Reference transaction for ILL easier (one easy to use interface and tool) Leverages IDS Project quick turnaround times for positive transactions. Easy permalinks for virtual reference.

  27. Auto Search If a search results in zero hits, IDS Search will automatically widen the search for the user: • Maintain user’s search terms • Remove any search limits • Change the scope to world wide • Change the index to key word • Change the sort order to relevance * Auto Search assures that the user is presented with search results.

  28. Auto Search: Example • Search: 0765607395 (ISBN) in IDS Group • Zero Hits • Auto Search: 0765607395 (kw) in World Wide group • Found the item, and provided • Google preview • A link to ILLiad • Let user know that item was owned in 4 IDS member libraries • A link to the author • A link to the subject • If the user wants a known item that the library does not own, IDS Search will deliver

  32. Auto Search: Example • Search: somali pirates (su) in my library • Zero Hits • Auto Search: somali pirates (kw) in world wide group • Found 59 books • 1 owned by local library • Would not have been shown without auto search! • 9 owned by IDS member libraries

  33. Auto Search: Example • Search: Roghman Geertruid (kw) in my library • Zero Hits • Auto Search: • Zero Hits • Spelling Correction (Rothman, Geertruid) • Zero Hits • What should have happened next?
