We're in a new age of Discovery. Not of the physical world but
rather one that serves up appropriate resources for your library's
researchers, thanks to advancements in handling metadata, natural
language processing, and keyword searching. For you, Discovery
might be shorthand for single-index products such as Serials'
Solutions Summon, EBSCO Discovery, and OCLC's WorldCat Discovery.
Yet even those tools require adjustments to meet your institution's
specific needs. With first-hand profiles of 19 library projects,
Varnum and his roster of contributors offer guidance on the
complete range of discovery services, from the broad sweep of
vendors' products to the fine points of specialized holdings.
Topics include: migrating from a traditional ILS to a library
services platform creating a task list for usability testing of
discovery managing internal development requirements within the
constraints of a small or mid-sized library applying agile software
methodology to a Blacklight implementation real-world examples of
usability testing, including a small liberal arts college's
implementation of VuFind meeting the challenge of three different
metadata formats practices in the Primo community for integrating
open access content into the front end serving mobile users with an
app and responsive Web design analyzing the use of facets in search
using a single discovery tool across a library, museum, and
archive; and implementing discovery with geospatial datasets. Easy
to dip into as needed, this comprehensive examination of discovery
services will prove invaluable to IT, web development, electronic
resource management, and technical services staff.
