Discovery ServiceQuestions??
Discovery Tool ComponentsDiscovery layer- user interface with a single
search box that returns combined results, assists the user locating and accessing content
Catalog+ - catalog data plus other sources; metadata from Aleph, Digital collections, Wolfsonian Museum Library, OSTI, CRL and Hathi Trust
Mega-index – proprietary tools that index metadata from articles, reference sources, newspapers, ebooks, etc. and some full text for searching
Other – content not in mega-index, full-text subscriptions, link resolver, recommender service, holdings and circ data, etc.
MANGO Discovery Tool ProjectWorking to include article search since 2009Began working with Ex Libris’s Primo Central
Index in early 20104 SULs beta testing the Mango/PCI (USF, UWF,
UNF and UCF)Began working with other mega-indexes in
early 2011, have beta of Mango/EDS and Mango/Summon
Mango Discovery Layer has single search box, blended results and facets
FCLA investigating content of different mega-indexes
MANGO Discovery ToolMANGO Discovery in combination with any of the
current mega-indexes is a fully realized Discovery Tool
Core philosophy is flexibility, which is key in a rapidly changing, nascent marketplace
Not locked in to proprietary interface, mega-index, A&I databases, link-resolver, other vendor services
Leverages the investment in existing MANGO user interface
No down-time for catalog searches if mega-index is unavailable
Low cost solution
Leverages State-wide Investment in Mango
Retention of features developed collaboratively with FIU libraries (e.g. Series Title/Volume facet, Advanced multi-boolean multi-index search, in-process request emails for cataloging and special collections, ejournal tab)
Continues UBorrow program for patron empowerment across disparate collections
Access to SUS Union Catalog allows state-wide discovery
Preserves integrated research tools and services unique to each library (e.g. location maps. Ask a librarian, push to RefWorks, etc.)
