Quick Start Search Box

On the default view of our library homepage there is no search box. This creates a situation where a user must click before they can begin to search on their topic of interest. It also forces users to choose what kind of format they are looking for – journal or book.

We are developing a search box to be located on the first page that will be immediately available when the page loads and will search across the library catalog as well as all the databases that can be searched simultaneously (journals). A sample of the search box can be found at http://www.lib.byu.edu/index_refresh.php (Note: This page is under active development. Functionality may be intermittent.)
