  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.
