Every spring, we survey our students on all sorts of library stuff.
In a question dealing with online services, we asked students which databases and search products they used for research. We included Socrates, our OPAC, since we want to emphasize the catalog and its importance at every opportunity. The drop down choices that we provided for answers included Westlaw, LexisNexis, Google, BNA, RIA, HeinOnline, MOML and more. We also gave students an opportunity to fill in the blank for other databases not listed in the question.
Most interesting and gratifying, Socrates, our online catalog, gets great use, even more use than LexisNexis!
