A Snapshot of Reading, Searching, and Browsing Preferences of Tertiary Students

Abstract

Unanswered questions remain regarding how to design search result pages in library catalogues that offer effective library seeking experiences for users – especially those designed for small screen mobile devices. This paper reports a snapshot interview of the user habits and preferences of tertiary library patrons during book searching and browsing and provides recommendations for library catalogue design and further research.
