Good article. I liked the history of OPACs. The domain novice vs. domain experts is useful to consider. This was a good quote in the context of why users start at Google, "As such, searching the web specifically, and searching for information generally, conforms to the principle of least effort, "The design of any ... information system should be the system's ease of use ... If an organization desires to have a high quality of information used, it must make ease of use of primary importance" (Rosenberg, 1966, 19)".
