Academic libraries over the past 10 years have embraced web-scale discovery, making it a central point of access on the library homepage.
In a follow-up presentation to the 2016 Charleston Presentation, “If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em: Embracing Alternative Avenues of Discovery,” we will investigate how libraries are broadening their approach to resource discovery by embedding search beyond the library’s website to other applications such as campus apps, e-resource access tools, and content management systems.
This session will highlight how libraries are meeting patrons at their point of need. We will focus on how libraries can extend themselves within the institutional setting. Presenters will share real-world, examples of collaborative efforts to gain greater awareness of discovery capabilities and library resources to improve research outcomes. Plan for a lively discussion.
