  2. Rollout • We didn’t do any publicity; we just launched it by changing pull down menu default on front page • Patterned after Michigan State University • We didn’t even name it. It was just “Peak,” the same name we gave our classic Innovative catalog

  3. Our entry point

  4. Keyword Searching as Starting Point • More Google-like • Works quite well for known-item searching • Is much faster than regular catalog • Has no limits to result set • Our reference librarians have adjusted quite well to new paradigm
