What are the primary purposes for FCLA purchasing and developing the Endeca OPACS?
ORIGINAL BRIEF ANSWER The intent is to provide library users with a more helpful searching experience by providing more guidance to them — especially in narrowing initial searches that are too broad. Endeca exposes terms that have been entered in library catalog records in ways that are much more prominent than in traditional OPACS; these terms can be easily clicked to “drill down” to view records having the most interest to a user.
