Description: Marshall Breeding, an independent consultant, will provide an overview of the current realm of search tools that libraries provide to their communities, including index-based discovery services, socially enabled library portals, and related products. Looking beyond the current slate of products, Breeding will discuss some of areas of opportunity and possible areas of future development. Areas of interest include ways that libraries can leverage these capability of these tools beyond the confines of their own Web sites to increase discoverability of library resources in other contexts such as learning management systems, community portals, and the general web. Learning outcomes: Upon completion of this session, attendees will know basic terminology and concepts related to discovery, key features expected in discovery services, and how the creation of discovery indexes impacts use of library resources. As well as the major products available in the category of library resource discovery and how discovery services fit within the library’s overall set of tools related to providing access to resources. Who should attend? The session aims to provide information that will be useful to non-technical library professionals, such as those involved providing services to library users that involve finding and gaining access to library resources, those involved in the management of print and electronic resources, as well as those interested in the underlying technology of these products.
