Abstract

Through the analysis of the University of Western Sydney's (UWS) federated searching tool usage statistics, the paper aims to highlight potential issues for Libraries choosing to make federated searching, the preferred method for finding scholarly resources. The paper will reflect on the UWS experience and create an awareness of potential issues for future implementations of federated search products.
