GET A BETTER CATALOG!NEXT-GENERATION DISCOVERY INTERFACES FOR LIBRARY OPACS
Marshall BreedingDirector for Innovative Technology and ResearchVanderbilt University LibraryFounder and Publisher, Library Technology Guideshttp://www.librarytechnology.org/http://twitter.com/mbreedingLibraryLinkNJ WebinarFeb 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.

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
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

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

recommendation service of scholarly content based on link resolver data: Ex Libris bX service
