Q: Visit the Great River Regional Library OPAC and search for materials on your topic. What features were the same, and which were different? How many results did you get through the Great River OPAC compared to the Miller Center OPAC? Were they the type of books that you expected? Why or why not?
A: A lot of the features were the same with the SCSU library search device, the one thing that did stand out differently than SCSU was that once typed in the search you wanted a book would immediately be put at you. It would pick a book on or very similar to what you were looking for, it was a nice surprise because along with doing that you still have the option to search the catalog more. At the GRRL website I recieved many more book options than with the SCSU website; they were the type of books that I expected because of the broad topic I was given.

Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post. I am not sure what you mean by "once you typed in the search you wanted a book would immediately be put at you." Could you explain that to me? Thanks!

What I meant was that when you typed into the search link, there was automatically a book that was brought up for you to decifer if it was what you were looking for. (At least whenever I have done this, regardless a book always seems to show up.)
