Boxing clever: How searchers use and adapt to a one-box library search

One of the major problems users experience searching for information in libraries is the number of places they have to search. It has long been posited that a single search box (like Google) that searched a range of library resources would solve these problems and make users more effective information seekers in libraries. In this paper we use log analysis to compare user search behaviour in a single search box system with that in a traditional library catalogue. We discover that behaviour varies in response to the results produced by the different systems.
