Why poorly designed search sucks.
Thursday, June 14th, 2007Rececntly, for an assignment for Uni I was writing researching consumer and business security and user privacy in relation to IT.
Using the UTS Library search tool to find academic papers on such topics I came back with the following group of results in response to the query “computer security” or “computer privacy” (one of the two, not sure which one).
This result particularly caused a great lack of faith in the tools the Library has put in place.
I hope that all library search tools don’t suck as much as the one here at UTS does.
In other news, it’s another horribly grey and rainy day here in Sydney. I hope where you are it’s nice and sunny!
