Summer 2009 Workshop
Welcome / Innovative Users' Group Update: Erin McCaffrey, RMRIUG Chair, Regis University Library

Chinook Redesign and Catalog Usage View pdf for Chinook Redesign: Jennifer Knievel, Faculty Director, Research and Instruction, University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries
Jina Wakimoto, Faculty Director, Cataloging and Metadata Services, University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries.
The Chinook OPAC redesign and implementation of WebBridge prompted the presenters to question whether the redesign influenced catalog usage. They evaluated Chinook transactional log data between Fall of 2005 and Spring of 2008. Searches for keyword, title, author, subject, LC Call Number, and ISSN/ISBN were tracked for each semester during weeks 2 and 3 of the semester, a mid-semester sampling period, and finals week. They will reveal some interesting results of their research on Chinook usage over the 3-year period.
