10. What’s wrong with hybrid “discovery” models? Hybrid models that combine indexing and federated search are inherently problematic Disparate results sets are confusing Interfaces are difficult to navigate Federated results return slowly Deliver only a limited result set Faceting and filtering cannot be applied across the collection as a whole No true relevancy ranking 10

11. Hybrid Results Federated Databases Indexed Content 11 Hybrid models compromise research integrity Results are always biased toward what is in the index Federated Sources DB1= 20 available DB2= 30 available DB3= 20 available DB4= 10 available DB5= 0 results (broken connector) Index= 105,288 available
