I. Discovery Services: Need & objective

• Fast, simple access to all of the library’s full-text content (electronic and print) in a single search box

– Journals

– Magazines

– Newspapers

– Books

– Library Catalog

– And More...

Ökad synlighet och ökad användning av bibliotekets samlingar

Ge användarna ett alternativt verktyg för access till kvalitetsgranskade källor (≠ Google)

1. Spännvid

2. Utökade metadata vs. minimi

3. Funktionalitet

4. Strategiskt val av infrastruktur

5. Möjlighet till anpassning

I. Discovery Services: kriterier & grundläggande krav

Funktionalitet

• snabbhet

• Användarvänligt sökgränssnitt med moderna sökfunktioner

– t.ex. relevansrankning– bokomslag– facetterad sökning – stavningskontroll– ”menade du...”– mobil applikation– talsyntes– sociala tjänster – integrerat RSS-flöde– egen area för att spara information– stöd för kollaborativt arbete

Continuum of Metadata quality

Better than nothing

Pretty good

Best!

Even better when contributed by a leading subject index database subscription!

Even better with searchable full

text!

III. EDS in a complex infrastructure setting

EBSCO has already been working with three scenarios

• Multiple catalogs, each institution regularly searches other

• Consortium Catalog with 1 RTAC

• Consortium Catalog with multiple RTACs

Location Limiter

Primary Catalog is listed first.

Admin can default to a single library or set of

location(s)

Scenarios for infrastructure decisions in Sweden

A. Implementing EDS on a local level

• EDS core base index

• Index enriched by library’s database subscriptions, catalogue and IRs

• Harvesting, receiving, normalizing and indexing of metadata all by EBSCO.

• Centrally hosted, available for reuse in local applications via API access

• Full institutional branding

• Flexibility to create discovery subject subsets.

• Connection to the union catalogue LIBRIS via widget or connector

Discovery-tjänst konfigurerad som ”totalsök”

Möjlighet att skapa länkning till Libris

B. Implementing EDS on a regional level – consortium of cooperating institutions

• Shared EDS core index

• Integration of multiple shared catalogues

• Custom EDS enrichment by individual database subscriptions

• Regional and/or local branding

• Flexibility to create global search and numerous subject specific discovery sub-sets

• Benefits through cooperation between libraries in joint marketing and enhancement of the service.

III. Implementing EDS on a national Level (all SUHF or all BIBSAM or all…)

• Shared EDS core index basis of the service for all sites

• Full integration of the union catalogue LIBRIS into EDS, harvesting metadata via LIBRIS APIs.

• Full functionality to narrow search down to local collections

• Custom EDS enrichment through individual database subscriptions

• Possibility to negotiate unified consortium access for core databases

• Full possibilities for national and/or local branding

• Full flexibility to create subject specific discovery sub sets

• Alternatively/additionally use EDS as data source and present results in national interface.

III. Considerations

• EBSCO EDS is commercially available

• Quick implementation

• High interface user recognition

• Significant immediate improvement of access to library collections

• Compatible with all currently used library systems and linking services

• Flexible setup ensures easy alignment to future changes in the Swedish research infrastructure (L-Libris?).
