There's a paradox: the more information your site has, the more useful it is -- and the harder to navigate! No matter how well you design your site navigation elements, visitors will need other ways to find what they're looking for. Site search tools provide a powerful and familiar means to provide that access. Visitors can just type the words and press the Search button in a form, and get a list of all the documents that match those words on your site. Luckily, you don't have to write this yourself. There are many site search tools available, for almost every platform, web server and site you can imagine.

OAPEN — Open Access Book Experiment in Humanities, Social Sciences. Library card catalogue, via JISC-collections The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) in the United Kingdom has put out an invitation for publishers of monographs in the social sciences and humanities to participate in an open access experiment called OAPEN-UK.
As described: The aim of OAPEN-UK is to experiment with scholarly monographs in the humanities and social sciences to find out if open access as a model is feasible, and what impacts open access scholarly monographs have on print and e-book sales, reach and readership. The study comes with £250,000 (almost US $400,000) of support from JISC-collections to fund the experiment. Like the open access experiment conducted on monographs published by Amsterdam University Press (AUP), books will be assigned randomly to either the experimental (open access) group or the control group. The explanatory variables under investigation aren’t any clearer. What is also unusual about this study is that it focuses on previously published books.
