1 Discovery and Discoverability Clive Wright Vice President of Discovery Innovation “Innovations in how publications and collections are being enhanced for discovery and how they are exposed to search engines and discovery tools”

3 Dynamic publication carousel. Can use different ones in different subject profiles Dynamic topic search word web. Can use different ones in different subject profiles

4 Evolving Autocomplete Features:  Updated daily to capture current events Features:  Updated daily to capture current events

5 Personalized, Dynamic Autocomplete

6 Sophisticated Autocomplete Features:  Fuzzy matching support to handle misspellings/typos Features:  Fuzzy matching support to handle misspellings/typos Centrifical Centrifugal

7 Software as a Service Did you mean? (the existing challenges) http://damnyouautosuggest.tumblr.com/

8 The EDS Did-You-Mean Solution Unfortunately many publications have misspellings providing low quality results. Suggestions are important. Utilizes data mined popular searches for higher quality suggestions

9 ebsco.com/apps

10 Configurable results page Integrated catalogue

11 Dynamic links using search query and using specialized filters

12 ILS OPAC User Interface (ex. Koha) with EDS API Results (+holds, cart) 2-Way ILS EDS Integration (APIs)

13 EDS and Koha (real time availability checking, patron functions) 2-Way ILS EDS Integration (APIs)

14 Relevancy: needs Subject Precision Topical QuerySubject Indexing in EDS adhd Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder Attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity atarax Hydroxyzine (Drug) Hydroxyzine PET scan Positron Emission Tomography Tomography, Emission-Computed Emission Tomography tumors Neoplasms, cystic, mucinous, and serous Neoplasms Tumours Challenge to end user queries: Different subject vocabularies often use different terminology for the same concept Challenge to end user queries: Different subject vocabularies often use different terminology for the same concept

15 CONCEPT: Hydroxyzine (Drug) MESH (Pref): Hydroxyzine MESH: 2-(2-(4-((4-Chlorophenyl)phenylmethyl)-1-piperazinyl)ethoxy)ethanol MESH: Hydroxyzine Pamoate MESH: Orgatrax MESH: Atarax MESH: Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride MESH: Hydroxyzine Dihydrochloride MESH: Vistaril MESH: Durrax CSI (Pref): Hydroxyzine (Drug) CSI: Vistaril (Drug) CSI: Atarax (Drug) PSYCINFO (Pref): Hydroxyzine Unstructured imprecise keywords  Structured precise concept search Mappings created by taxonomists and subject specialists Example: PsycINFO, MEDLINE Mappings created by taxonomists and subject specialists Example: PsycINFO, MEDLINE

16 2015 Supported Sources (mapped) Academic Search Business Source Medline PsycINFO MLA International Bibliography HeinOnline ATLA Religion DB CINAHL GeoRef MathSciNet AGRICOLA L’Annee Philologique Petroleum Abstracts EconLit Many more planned for 2016!

17 Enhanced Subject Precision More than simple keyword expansion –Doesn’t increase hit count, but increases relevance of results at top of the list –Boosts subject matches higher in relevancy Benefits both Novice and Advanced users –Broad topical & specialized discipline terminology –Vocabularies from premium subject index providers Popular search queries are continuously mapped to increase opportunities for concept matching

18 Categorized Search Results User testing rejected bento box and new advanced designs, favored designs “more like Google”

19 Placard… progressive disclosure approach (reduce UI noise)

25 | discovery.ebsco.com 25 Providing tools that are not developed for precision will not suffice http://pgitl.com/swiss-army-knife-scalpel/

26 | discovery.ebsco.com 26 Choosing the right tool with the associated benefits for everyone is our responsibility http://www.teachthought.com/uncategorized/10-ways-the-library-of-the-future-will-be-different/

27 In summary (and to segue to the panel) Collaboration Integration Being open Relevance Comprehensive metadata The challenges to discoverability The solution Collaborate Integrate Provide open resources Focus on relevant results Expect and utilize comprehensive metadata
