Westminster College to Implement MuseSearchTM.

Giovale Library streamlines access to online resources.

January 9, 2004

SALT LAKE CITY, UT - January 9, 2004 - MuseGlobal announced today that Westminster College has selected MuseSearchTM to speed up and simplify student research. Westminster's Giovale Library will utilize the popular metasearch tool as a common interface to more than 100 online databases. Implementation is anticipated early this year.

"Databases produced by different companies require different search methods. The students get confused," explains Giovale Library Director David Hales. "A common user interface to all searched databases will help students focus on analysis and critical thinking, more than the mere mechanics of how to search."

MuseSearch allows a researcher to enter a search query once, but simultaneously search an unlimited number of online resources. Because searches are translated to the native protocol and search language of each database, results are of the highest quality. Results from all the sources are integrated, allowing de-duplication and other advanced processing - and thereby delivering the most relevant answers.

MuseGlobal CEO Kate Noerr commented, "We are proud to partner with Westminster College in implementing this advanced research tool. With MuseSearch, students will be able to obtain the highest quality research results without having to learn many different systems or having to repeat searches over and over."

The Giovale Library plans to offer the option to search a specific database, such as MEDLINE, or enter a broad category of databases such as (anthropology, art, or chemistry) to search multiple relevant sources.
