500 # # |a First published in the USA by the American Library Association, 2016. The pace of change in recent decades has been dizzying. An index of books was a static item; discovery might require searching several places to find both the index and the item. Now the variety of materials managed and collected by individual librarys is expansive, and the concept of "discovery" can cover hundreds, thousands or even billions of items. Where is "discovery" going... and how will it change your life?

520 # # |a We're in a new age of Discovery. Not of the physical world but rather one that serves up appropriate resources for your library's researchers, thanks to advancements in handling metadata, natural language processing, and keyword searching. For you, Discovery might be shorthand for single-index products such as Serials' Solutions Summon, EBSCO Discovery, and OCLC's WorldCat Discovery. Yet even those tools require adjustments to meet your institution's specific needs. With first-hand profiles of 19 library projects, Varnum and his roster of contributors offer guidance on the complete range of discovery services, from the broad sweep of vendors' products to the fine points of specialized holdings. Easy to dip into as needed, this comprehensive examination of discovery services will prove invaluable to IT, web development, electronic resource management, and technical services staff.
