Data-driven Discovery subject cloud searching full text across multiple sources hyperlinks in records

Personalization comments and tags personal collections tools for reusing collections

Anecdotal Evidence

• Use in English 1200, History Classes• Use of A.R. Ammons collection by several

Heuristic Evaluation

• Image Resolution• Integration with library “Discovery,”

pedagogical tools, library instruction• More Outreach• More usability testing• More cataloging needed• Review of the use of subjects and broad

collections
