1. THE EVOLUTION OF LIBRARY COLLECTION DISCOVERY: Marshall Breeding Director for Innovative Technology and Research Vanderbilt University Library Founder and Publisher, Library Technology Guides http://www.librarytechnology.org/ http://twitter.com/mbreeding Internet Librarian 2010 Oct 25, 2010

2. Abstract  Marshall Breeding will share his view of the current state of the discovery systems arena. Discovery has split away from the core automation systems as a new genre that offers library users a unified tool for interacting with library collections rather than the fractured approach of traditional library websites.

Disjointed approach to information and service delivery  Silos Prevail  Books: Library OPAC (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. Springshare LibGuides)  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  Ex Libris: MetaLib  WebFeat  Serials Solutions: 360 Search  Innovative Interfaces: Research Pro
