Search has defined the Internet
Model the challenge, perspective between learners, systems and the library
Accuracy, easy, supportable
Digital natives have high expectations of what they can do online
Moving from federated search to indexed offsite, which is much faster
From librarians point of view, challenges - complexity of e resources, accuracy of info literacy, connection with students
Went with summon from Serials solutions, main search system, very clear search box and choices on left. Search box also on other pages of uni website. Also mobile version
Did study comparing open web to library system, better quality and more academic.
Faceted search more common from providers.
Balance gives great info literacy learning.

Federated search too slow, google scholar more liked
Created wish list for ideal searching
One search box, fast results, simple, easy to maintain
Invited suppliers, chose Summon
Easy to implement. Records out of LMS, problems with deletions, didn't move all data, shows up crappy cataloguing (!?)
Now have 60 million records
Users say very easy to use. feedback v positive.
Accessing totality of content

Responding to challenges, created projects
Most students wont use databases after they graduate, but will use google
Library can fill the gaps
Linked data
Sorry this was so techie I only understood one word in ten :)
Concentrate on what are needs of users, not what is shiny and new
