Hello all,
I am not at all sure about the AVS search compared to keyword search. I am
working at a public library with all sorts of users, from children to old
age pensioners, and we can't foresee how they are going do do their
searches. It is impossible to give all sorts of instructions to everyone.
If there are too many they will not be read.
I did some searches in Christopher's catalogue:
1) Type "policy social" and you get 75 records. Type "social policy" and
you get 2287 records.
2) Type "policy government" = 9 records, "government policy" = 8164
records.
3) Type "world war II" = 1431 records, "second world war" = 386 records,
"world war 2" = 46 records.
Does that not bother anyone? It bothers me.

Our AVS search screen is at:
http://bianca.penlib.du.edu/search~S2/Y#X
Distinctive features:
Notice the added pull-down menu choices: Publication Type, Government
Document (could this have anything to do with the fact that I am a
govdocs librarian???) and Conference.

Subject: Millennium Advanced Searching
Hi,
We are in the process of moving to Millennium after using the
character-based INNOPAC for 10 years. I interested in viewing library
catalogs using the Advanced Search feature for keyword. Can I have a
few
URLS from those who are using Advanced Searching?
Could you briefly share what you like and don't like about it?
Anybody
move to advanced searching and wish they hadn't?
Thanks so much,
Alan E. Bartlett
