  2. Abstract • Marshall Breeding will provide an overview of discovery interfaces, a new type of product that enhances the user experience in search and access to library resources. He will give an introduction to the products, sharing why they are needed and how they differ from--and often improve upon traditional online catalog modules or federated search technologies. The presentation will outline some of the features and how they better meet the expectations of today’s library patrons. Breeding describe how discovery interfaces integrate with ILSs and other components of a library's technical infrastructure.

  13. Web-based online catalog

  14. Disjointed approach to information and service delivery • Silos Prevail • Books: Library Online Catalog (ILS module) • Articles: Aggregated content products, e-journal collections • OpenURL linking services • E-journal finding aids (Often managed by link resolver) • Subject guides (e.g. SpringshareLibGuides) • Local digital collections • ETDs, photos, rich media collections • Metasearch engines • All searched separately

  15. Federated Search • Simultaneous search of library catalog and selected remote resources of electronic content • Based on live, dynamic queries cast to multiple targets • Limited result sets, slow performance • Search and retrieval protocols: Z39.50, XML gateways

  16. Federated Search products • IndexData: Pazpar2 / MasterKey • Ex Libris: MetaLib • WebFeat • Serials Solutions: 360 Search • Innovative Interfaces: Research Pro

  17. Federated Search ILS Data Digital Collections Search: ProQuest Search Results EBSCOhost … MLA Bibliography ABC-CLIO Real-time query and responses

  18. Union Catalog based on Federated Search Library A Library B Search: Library C Search Results Library D … Article Database A EBSCOhost Real-time query and responses

  19. Modernized Interface • Single search box • Query tools • Did you mean • Type-ahead • Relevance ranked results • Faceted navigation • Enhanced visual displays • Cover art • Summaries, reviews, • Recommendation services

  32. Differentiation in Discovery • Products increasingly specialized between public and academic libraries • Public libraries: emphasis on engagement with physical collection • Academic libraries: concern for discovery of heterogeneous material types, especially books + articles + digital objects

  33. Discovery from Local to Web-scale • Initial products focused on technology • AquaBrowser, Endeca,Primo, Encore,VuFind • Mostly locally-installed software • Current phase focused on pre-populated indexes that aim to deliver Web-scale discovery • Summon (Serials Solutions) • WorldCat Local (OCLC) • EBSCO Discovery Service (EBSCO) • Primo Central • Encore with Article Integration

  34. Web-scale Discovery ILS Data Digital Collections Search: ProQuest EBSCOhost Search Results Consolidated Index … MLA Bibliography HathiTrust Pre-built harvesting and indexing

  35. State-wide Discovery ILS Data Vanderbilt Digital Collections Search: EBSCO ILS Data: Nashville Public Search Results Consolidated Index … ILS Data: UTK ILS Data: Tinn-Share Pre-built harvesting and indexing

  36. State-wide Discovery ILS Data Institution A Digital Collections Search: EBSCO ILS Data: Institution B Search Results Consolidated Index … ILS Data: Institution C ILS Data: Statewide Union Catalog Pre-built harvesting and indexing

  37. Web-scale Search + Federated Search ILS Data Digital Collections Search: ProQuest … Consolidated Index Search Results MLA Bibliography ABC-CLIO Pre-built harvesting and indexing FedSearch Non-harvestable Resources Interim model to deal with resources not possible to harvest into consolidated index

  38. Pre-populated discovery services • New-generation interface • Harvested local content • ILS metadata • Institutional repositories, ETDs, Digital Collection platforms • Vendor-supplied indexes of library content • E-journals, databases, e-books • Full-text and metadata corresponding to e-content subscriptions • Book collections beyond local library collections

  49. Social Discovery • Builds on modernized library catalog interfaces • Strong emphasis on Web 2.0 concepts • Users invited to contribute reviews, ratings, preferences, reading lists, etc. • User-supplied data becomes part of the discovery process • Users help each other to find interesting library materials • Example: Leverage use data for a recommendation service of scholarly content based on link resolver data: Ex LibrisbX service
