Things people search for the most

Here is a new list of the Top 10 things people search for in the library catalogue (and here is the old one!). The catalogue is called Easyfind as it easily finds things (obvs) and also recommends similar things.

So here they are, in order of popularity. 

1. Twilight
2. New Moon
3. Book
4. Jodi Picoult
5. My Sisters Keeper
6. The Lovely Bones
7. Lovely Bones
8. thriller
9. Cherub
10. 24

I think it’s pretty cool that about a third of them are for items in the YA section. (The 11th on the list is Stephenie Meyer and the 12th is Eclipse.) SO significant.

Here are some of the searches that didn’t get an results. They are also called ‘orphaned queries’, depressingly.

‘ultamate biplane’, ‘stunt biplane’, ‘the profet’, ‘stephine meyer’, ‘shime’, ‘build chicken coop’, and ‘rock n roll swindle enter your query here’.

    Why do people search for “book” in a library? I wanted to know this last time too.
