Today’s Tip:
If you are going to have an advanced search make sure it is packed with options. If your visitors can’t find what they are looking for from the regular search give them enough options in the advanced search to be useful. Analyze what your visitors are searching for and try terms on both search forms and try to experience what your visitors are experiencing. How is the user experience as a whole? Is it even worth having an advanced search?

Nick,
Wondering if you saw the SMASHUP portion of the NIU website (http://smashup.niu.edu). Would be curious to hear a review on social media mashup sites like it! Have a few other examples if you wanted to see them.
