OCLC report, Online Catalogs: What Users and Librarians Want

Selene and Peter pointed us to this Report.

Excerpt:
What do end users want?

• Direct links to online content—text and media formats
• Evaluative content, such as summaries/abstracts, tables of contents and excerpts
• Relevant search results
• Item availability information—if the item is available and how to get it
• Simple keyword search with an advanced, guided search option
