Quicksearch -- Universal Search at Yale University Library

Yale School of Management

Quicksearch is a universal search at the Yale University Library. The Library offers several search interfaces: Orbis and MORRIS search the Library and Law Library catalogs, Articles+ for articles, journals and newspapers, and several digitized collection searches. The many search interfaces present a challenge to our patrons, who have to search in many different interfaces to find the material they need. The Library has combined several of these search interfaces into one unified Quicksearch, which over time will become a comprehensive search interface for the majority of Library resources. This poster session will contain information highlighting the benefits of a combined search interface, results of user testing, and the opportunity to try out the new interface and provide feedback.
