The document summarizes an evaluation of a federated search implementation at Booth Library, Eastern Illinois University. Key findings from analyzing search logs and user statistics over multiple years include: (1) users had significantly more searches and views of full records in native databases compared to the federated search, (2) databases interpreted search queries differently which impacted relevancy of results, (3) proper staffing, training, and statistics tracking are needed for a federated search to be effective. The evaluation highlights the reality that expectations often do not match actual user behaviors and search capabilities.
