Hype vs. Reality • More is better • Eliminate ALL silos • Reuse • Catalog • Syndication • Web Contexts Resources Customize Images from: http://c2c.bigfuel.com/fuel/ad-campaigns/facebook-vs-hoarders/attachment/hoarders/http://www.beautiful-libraries.com/2000-1.html
Discovery – More than Words • User Context • User Type • Purpose • Discipline • Entry Point • Query • Results Enrichment by Network Next Day Paper Law Anthropology Research Biology Image from: https://www.grabcad.com/library/3d-maze-game--1 Undergrad Grad Faculty Librarian diversity ?
Relevancy that Considers User • ScholarRankTM • User • Discipline • Status • Document • Metadata • Characteristics • Quality • Query
Opportunities: Leveraging the Social Network • Primo • Enrichment step – relevancy bump with circulation • Primo Central • bX • Impact factor • Could include feedback from clicks? http://www.uits.ma/resources/site1/General/content_images/network.jpg
Testing • ~ 25 Grad Students/Experts • Methodology • Search topic of interest • Rank first 2 pages (20 results) • R – relevant, I – irrelevant, Blank – not sure • Give opportunity to refine • Ask a couple of questions • Comparison to Google Scholar • Observation of Facets • What is missing, strange, etc.
Content Evaluation* *not statistically significant
Findings • Query Matters • General vs. specific • People liked blend • People will use it • Difference in Search behaviors • Different disciplines: • Search differently and for different things • Use different features • Some found new resources
Findings Cntd. • Some critical items missing • Cross discipline noise • Facets • Users liked them when they found them • Will need reordering (topic, journal title, dates) • People would like cited frequency • Would like multiple limiters • Survey of users – OneSearch made most sense
Customizations: Now • In Library to On Shelf • Revision of Online Access • Collapsed Facets
The User Context - Where http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/communications/medialibrary/images/may08/1921_3099.jpg
Customizations: Future • Replacing Metasearch • Print Services into Primo Central • Via APIs • Load into Primo Central? • Print Services into WorldCat
Discovery Benefits • Currency • Harvest vs. A&I • A change in results perspective • Content not in Google Scholar • Broad place to start • Rapid need for a handful of materials
Marketing: What it Is “Like Google Scholar but where we know what is in it and we can highlight our local collections.” • A better Google Scholar (perhaps) • A way to highlight local collections in a broader context • A different perspective on results • A good starting point • “A good and fast supplement to other searches.”
Marketing: What It Isn’t • What aren’t these systems? • The only search tool you’ll ever need • A replacement for core A&I resources • A&I – metadata is primary resource • Long tail of content acquisition • Completeness • More content = greater complexity in relevancy Image from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Ring
Cultural Change • Opachölm Syndrome • Recontextualizing complexity • Engine does more sophistication • Advanced features hidden • ChangeManagement • Content evaluation • Context of the tool • Training OPAC
