We've had multiple requests for the ability to sort results by publication date! (And we will add it.)

• Great product. Will there be the option to filter or sort results according to publication date?
• Are there plans to be able to sort results by publication year?
• We must have date added to the sorting. Hugely important.
• It would be helpful to sort by date. I'm looking for old travel books on Africa.
• Please enable sort by publish date in the results field.
• I would like to sort search results by several other fields including year, location, status, call number and format.

Some recent feedback from a PWR class, summarized by a librarian:

• Unanimous preference for look and feel of Searchworks over Socrates
• Loved the ability to limit search results by facets – especially for Video
• Loved the Cite This feature
• Liked the Text Citation feature
• Like book covers because it helps them find book on shelf
• Like Relevance sorting, want Publication Date sorting
• Liked Preview this feature
• Liked easy link to e-books

And other comments we've received via the Feedback option:

• This is the search engine we wish we had in grad school.
• Could you indicate what "relevance" means in terms of sorting?
• All in all, SearchWorks is a much more sophisticated search and viewer for bibliographic data than the Socrates.
• Would be nice to be able to browse new items added in the last day, last week, last month.
• It is very fast and very nicely organized. I really like the refine panel on the left to further limit searches to specific Topics, Formats, Authors etc. It lets me know all the of possible subtopics in a context specific way which is very helpful to someone searching a corpus in which they are not an expert.
• I would like to save or download multiple selected search results, not just one at a time.
  
• I would like to be able to output search results in a variety of formats - the email just giving the search URL is not sufficient.
• The Did you mean suggestions seem dumb sometimes...
• Hebrew and Arabic fields in SearchWorks are left-aligned, and the punctuation for these fields it not all handled correctly.
• Searching in vernacular scripts in SearchWorks brings up different results than in Socrates.
• I recommend that you include faculty advisor in author search results for theses and dissertations.
• Will there eventually be a way to request off-campus items?
• Where is the Advanced Search feature? If there isn't one, why not?
