Google and like search engines have changed the way library users search and retrieve information. The typical library user has come to expect discovery or other search tools to provide one‐stop (one‐box) searching with seamless and immediate results. While our students and faculty are traveling on this new discovery highway, not all of our library faculty and staff have made it to the on‐ramp for this new approach of searching (Thinking).
