I have been asked to remove the search box for the Library catalogue from the Library’s homepage, so that there is only one search box for Library resources – Multisearch. There is still a link to the catalogue under Resources, and in the navigation bar on every other page.

At yesterday’s meeting of Liaison Librarians there was, as I recall, considerable support for renaming this single search ‘Quick Search’. Could we decide on this soon so that we can ensure the right wording goes into teaching materials?
I thought that was the case as well. I am happy to go with Quick Search.

That’s a pity, I though it was really convenient on the homepage. Gwen @ MB
My suggestion is that we leave the name as MultiSearch as changing it will already entail a lot of editing on the Subject Guides and online tutorials. Staff and students are already familiar with the term.

I also think it is too late to change the name this year. I am also concerned there is already a lot of change that student will need to get used to in libraries and collections. Something needs to remain familiar. Cheers Anne
I have already sent out some material for 100 level use, (100-200 students at a guess), with Multisearch named in it.
