Why did McCain Library change the Discover GALILEO search interface?

 

The product vendor, EBSCOhost, changed the Discover interface to make it more intuitive for new and emerging researchers.

Discover’s search algorithm is highly responsive to natural language search queries, which is great for users who are getting started with a project. Advanced researchers, however, can still use Boolean Operators, search filters, truncation symbols, and proximity search techniques. Schedule a meeting with a librarian to receive a one-on-one introduction to the new interface!

Also, though McCain Library was not part of the redesign process, library staff can forward user suggestions and comments to GALILEO and EBSCOhost to improve usability. Email accessservices@agnesscott.edu with any suggestions or comments about the new design.
