Description

Google prepared all of us for a single-search box window to access resources, and libraries recently adopted discovery services to accommodate this expectation. This service collates resources into a single-box search environment, and permits users to filter the results into meaningful groups that reinforce the research process. Teaching students to “think” their way through the search-process facilitates critical thinking skills.
