HCPP Migration: New, Better, Different

• New and Better– Faster, more intuitive searching– Post-search faceting– Full-text PDFs– Bookmarking of search forms– Dedicated Search by Number form

• Bill, Command Paper, and Sessional Paper Number– Dedicated Member search form

• Search by Office, Party Affiliation, and Nation (England, Wales, Scotland etc)– Document results page also shows relevant HNP and Congressional documents (based on

institutional subscriptions)– Subject term hyperlinking

• Different– Search prioritized over browse

• Usage and focus groups proved that few people use this functionality. It might have been state of the art in 2005, but not today.

• Usage Stats– Legacy usage will NOT be migrated but will be available on CH platform

through at least 2016. – Usage for the new HCPP application will be in the ProQuest Administrator

Module (PAM).

HCPP Migration: Dual Access

Functionality to be implemented during the dual access period

– Full text PDFs: will go live with as many PDFs as we can generate at the time we go live. The remainder will be added during the dual access period

– Targeted results from Congressional showing from the document-result level

Please note, the screenshots shown in this presentation are from the beta site. While these are good indicators of the look and

functionality of the final product, things may change.
