Single Search Box User Feedback

Page1 / 3

33% of survey complete.

We need you! In Summer, 2012 the library introduced a new way to search the library catalog and licensed content from a single search box located on the library home page: http://search.library.cmu.edu. After nine months of use, it’s time to get your thoughts about the new search experience. With your comments and advice now, we can make improvements during the summer. Ten minutes is all we ask. If you supply an email address at the end of the survey, you will be entered into a drawing for a Kindle.

There are several pages to the survey. Please make sure you reach the last page where you can input your andrew ID. You MUST enter your ID to be entered into the drawing.
