New forms of discovery The academic perspective

This article explores new forms of discovery in the academic realm, including the process of disclosure and its implications for acquisitions. Examples and options for libraries are discussed, along with the importance of interoperability and user-driven processes. The article also highlights the need for good metadata and authentication/authorization in the discovery to delivery process.

  1. New forms of discoveryThe academic perspective Margaret Flett IT Services Development Officer UCL Library Services m.flett@ucl.ac.uk

  2. Summary • Discovery to Delivery • Disclosure • 3 examples • Implications for Acquisitions New forms of discovery - academic perspective. ASA, 27 Feb 2007

  3. Discovery – what is it? • Discovery – the whole process or part of it? • D2D (Dempsey): Discovery to Delivery Discover Locate  (Request)  Deliver Example: OpenURL New forms of discovery - academic perspective. ASA, 27 Feb 2007

  4. Disclosure • How do people know or choose where to start their search? • Dempsey: “If I want the stuff in my library to be discovered by those to whom it will be useful, I have to disclose its existence in those discovery environments that people actually use…” “Discovery and disclosure”, L. Dempsey’s weblog, Aug 2006http://orweblog.oclc.org New forms of discovery - academic perspective. ASA, 27 Feb 2007

  5. Disclosure – options for libraries Dempsey offers two disclosure options for libraries: • Machine-readable interfaces to available content • Redirection from common discovery environments New forms of discovery - academic perspective. ASA, 27 Feb 2007

  6. Disclosure in the discovery environment Example: OpenURL links in Google Scholar Requires: • work by library or end user • liaison with provider for maximum effectiveness • interoperability / standards New forms of discovery - academic perspective. ASA, 27 Feb 2007

  7. Disclosure for machine reading • Services: Z39.50, RSS, OAI-PMH, Web Services… • Data: expose to search engines or other tools • Long way to go in mainstream academic environment • Example: Metasearch tools as starting points • Integrate a range of discovery locations; package for the user Example: MetaLib federated searching • Next steps: “free” the underlying data New forms of discovery - academic perspective.

  11. Emerging trends • Modular systems for discovery to delivery • Interoperability • User-driven processes New forms of discovery - academic perspective. ASA, 27 Feb 2007

  12. Implications for Acquisitions Discover Locate  (Request)  Deliver • Discover • Packages with good metadata and interoperability for metasearch/harvesting • Authentication/authorisation • Locate • Packages with good metadata and interoperability for knowledgebases • Article-level usage stats • Authentication/authorisation D I S C L O S U R E New forms of discovery - academic perspective. ASA, 27 Feb 2007

  13. Implications for Acquisitions Discover Locate  (Request)  Deliver • Request • Alternative financial models – ILL, pay-per-view • Authentication/authorisation • Deliver • Packages with good metadata and interoperability for linking to content • Move towards e-only • Formats – not just text • Collaborative/co-operative collection management • Authentication/authorisation New forms of discovery - academic perspective.
