The Winding Road: WorldCat Local as Discovery Tool at the University of South Florida Libraries Monica Metz-Wiseman Coordinator of Electronic Collections

Background on “Selection” New dean Cycles of innovation – back to early adopter Incredible shrinking staff

Why WorldCat Local? Stop reinventing the OPAC wheel

Why WorldCat Local? Benefit for our users: one search

Promotion of WorldCat Local Launched as “Next Generation Catalog”

What is WorldCat Local? WorldCat Local road map – Relies on records in OCLC that may require record clean-up/reclamation Local branding, control Interoperates with circulation, ILL, link resolvers, local services, through linking and Z39.50 Hosted service

How does it differ from Summon, EBSCO EDS, etc.? Not exporting records, relying on Worldcat.org Vendor-neutral Another approach to the “catalog”

What we like about WorldCat Local Designed for users Vendor neutral (Switzerland) Road map - forward thinking Richness of WorldCat content + proprietary Referrals from web to WorldCat Local Fast response time for searching Mobile Sandbox Reasonable pricing Web 2.0 features

Where we struggle Hard sell: public service librarians Comparison to local catalog – features and use Keeping up with an evolving product- beyond the launch Connecting to full text and KB’s Merged records and ebooks Proprietary records, EEBO, ECCO, etc. and permissions PDA program with EBL

Where we struggle: Part II Central index vs. remote databases Presentation of article databases from initial search – what’s in WorldCat.org? Getting to local information fast and efficiently Regional campus libraries Full text coverage

Product Number of USF titles analyzed Number of USF titles available in Discovery Tool Number of USF titles NOT available in Discovery Tool % of available USF titles in Discovery Tool Date Data was Received EBSCO Discovery Services49,22334,78814,43571%3/11/2011 Summon49,22342,7466,47787%3/10/2011 Primo/Mango- Primo Central49,22041,5507,67084%3/31/2011 WorldCat Local49,22327,98321,26057% 3/15/2011

What do our users say and do? Currently, the use of our local catalog is 10:1 over WorldCat Local Engaged in usability testing with faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students Undergraduates’ top choice: WorldCat Local with low marks for our local discovery tool
