GET A BETTER CATALOG! NEXT-GENERATION DISCOVERY INTERFACES FOR LIBRARY OPACS 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 LibraryLinkNJ Webinar Feb 17, 2011

Abstract Marshall Breeding, leading international expert on Integrated Library Systems (ILSs), will provide an overview of discovery interfaces, a new type of product that enhances the user experience of the OPAC. He will give an introduction to the products, sharing why they are needed and how they differ from--and often improve upon-- standard ILS online catalog modules. The presentation will outline some of the features and how they better meet the expectations of today’s library patrons. Mr. Breeding will also broadly describe how discovery interfaces integrate with ILSs and other components of a library's technical infrastructure. The session will include some live examples of the major products available. There will be time for Q&A with Mr. Breeding.

Online Catalog Search: Search Results ILS Data
14
Web-based online catalog
15
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
16
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
17
Federated Search products Ex Libris: MetaLib WebFeat Serials Solutions: 360 Search Innovative Interfaces: Research Pro

Federated Search Search: Digital Collections ProQuest EBSCOhost … MLA Bibliography ABC-CLIO Search Results Real-time query and responses ILS Data
19
Modernized Interface Single search box Query tools Did you mean Type-ahead Relevance ranked results Faceted navigation Enhanced visual displays Cover art Summaries, reviews, Recommendation services

Legacy ILS Model / Extended Discovery ` API Layer LMS Consolidated index Search Engine Discovery Service Search: Digital Collections ProQuest EBSCOhost … JSTOR Other Resources
21
Benefits of APIs to Libraries Extensibility Interoperability Allows the LMS to connect with other automation components Create a matrix of interconnected systems rather than isolated silos with redundant data and functionality LMS maturity means similar levels of functionality LMS products increasingly differentiated by extent and quality of APIs and interoperability support

Differentiation in Discovery Products increasingly specialized between public and academic libraries Public libraries: emphasis on engagement with physical collection Academic libraries: concern for discovery of heterogeneous material types, especially books + articles + digital objects
34
Discovery from Local to Web-scale Initial products focused on technology AquaBrowser, Endeca, Primo, Encore, VuFind Mostly locally-installed software Current phase focused on pre-populated indexes that aim to deliver Web-scale discovery Summon (Serials Solutions) WorldCat Local (OCLC) EBSCO Discovery Service (EBSCO) Primo Central Encore with Article Integration

Web-scale Discovery Search: Digital Collections ProQuest EBSCOhost … MLA Bibliography ABC-CLIO Search Results Pre-built harvesting and indexing Consolidated Index ILS Data

Web-scale Search + Federated Search Search: Digital Collections ProQuest … MLA Bibliography ABC-CLIO Search Results Pre-built harvesting and indexing Consolidated Index ILS Data Fed Search Non- harvestable Resources Non- harvestable Resources Interim model to deal with resources not possible to harvest into consolidated index
38
Pre-populated discovery services New-generation interface Harvested local content ILS metadata Institutional repositories, ETDs, Digital Collection platforms Vendor-supplied indexes of library content E-journals, databases, e-books Full-text and metadata corresponding to e-content subscriptions Book collections beyond local library collections

Social Discovery Builds on modernized library catalog interfaces Strong emphasis on Web 2.0 concepts Users invited to contribute reviews, ratings, preferences, reading lists, etc. User-supplied data becomes part of the discovery process Users help each other to find interesting library materials Example: Leverage use data for a recommendation service of scholarly content based on link resolver data: Ex Libris bX service
