CUC 2005 C1 Peđa Pavličić - Federated Searching - benefits for the academic community
We have witnessed a transformation of user base in recent years, extending well beyond
the librarys realm. This usage information is critical in decision to provide a federated
search solution to the market. Statistics of access to databases, as well as simple
observation of users behaviour, suggested that a high percentage of electronic usage was
taking place during off work hours and outside of the library.
