Dear Professionals;

 

I would like to share this information with you regarding   Web Scale Discovery tools

 

Merits of Discovery tools :
 

  • Single Point of Entry
  • Pre-harvested
  • Centralized Index
  • Vendor neutral
  • Relevancy
  • Robust Features
  • Customizable


World wide majority of the universities are using :  Serials Solutions Summon ;OCLCs WorldCat Local  ; ExLibris' Primo ; EBSCO Discovery Services (EDS)    In our library (IITHLibrary), we  setup trial for Summon> IITHFind ( you can view ).

If anybody interested to setup discovery tool in their library first see  the features>>>>>>>>. Several surveys and  studies  says that :

  • A centralized index—to the article level & full text
  •  Harvested from many sources (not from Google scholar )
  •  Integrated with full text delivery/ Something you license
  •  NOT federated/brokered/broadcast search
  •  Understands library's holdings/rights
  •  Each vendor has agreements with several content suppliers. (Ask... How many ??) ; In addition to this harvest locally held material like catalog and IR.
  • see the content coverage and agreement with publishers.
  • Relevance ranking cannot be compared with Google page rank


Federated search engine how it works :
