Title: ENDECA

ENDECA

Testing, Testing, Testing-?Production
  • After rigorous testing and committee work
    (SUS-OPAC) Endeca was launched into Full
    Production
  • We are in a user testing phase
  • Bugs have been reported to FCLA and they are
    being fixed on a timely basis

3
Some Problems arent as easy to fix Browse Search
  • Browse capabilities
  • What do we mean by Browse?
  • We think of it as letting a user search by title,
    subject, or author and giving them an alphabetic
    list of records they can look through
  • Search for Libraries as Place
  • Libraries as partners in adult literacy
  • Libraries as places  Buildings for the 21st
    century
  • Libraries As Vehicles of Universal Service

4
Problems with Browse cont
  • FCLA has determined that this feature takes up
    too much overhead (computing space)
  • Other Universities using Endeca give patrons a
    Browse search in the form of a Call range
  • We have this feature, but the user has to
    complete a search first.

lookahead
  • FCLA has been testing a new lookahead feature
    will give patrons a list of populated terms as
    they type in their search criteria.
  • http//catalog1.fcla.edu/test/uf.jsp?1
  • The downside is they are limited to the list of
    15 items that appears at any one time in the
    virtual dropdown

6
Reporting a Problems, concerns, frustrations
  • There is a link at the top of the Endeca page
    labeled Provide Comments
  • Several staff members report problems to FCLA via
    their prb tracking system

7
Endeca Blog
  • A blog intended for consumption by staff and
    patrons has been setup
  • http//endecablog.blogspot.com/
  • FCLA has created an RSS feed of updates to their
    catalog
  • http//catalog.fcla.edu/svnlog.xml

8
Future Enhancements
  • FCLA has created a Testing interface where they
    can work on implementing new features without
    worrying about breaking the Production interface
  • The SUS-Usability Group will test out new
    features before they are implemented

9
Endeca (user satisfaction??)
  • What have you heard in your areas?
  • What kind of ?s would you ask in a patron survey
