At this panel discussion, participants will learn about issues and opportunities surrounding indexed search and the preliminary results of NISO’s Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) survey. This initiative is a collaboration between libraries, publishers, and discovery vendors. You will hear more about this initiative from a discovery vendor perspective and what it means to libraries as customers. Finally, an academic librarian will present considerations of the importance of ODI initiatives based on experience with implementation of a Web Scale Discovery tool. Lively discussion to follow!
