Abstract
ABSTRACT This article explores three assessment projects: two focused on librarians' reactions to metasearch technologies from a reference and information literacy perspective, and one user survey that attempts to capture student experiences, understanding, and satisfaction with metasearching at California State University Northridge. Exploring both librarian and user reactions to metasearch and federated search interface technologies in academic libraries, the authors review what the literature reveals about these technologies and their impact on information literacy initiatives. Emphasis focuses on how federated searching technologies affect librarians, students, the marketing of existing library and electronic databases, and information literacy instructional programming. doi:10.1300/J136v12n03_02
