Next-Gen Catalog is Half the Solution: Making eResources Truly Accessible
ER&L Conference Committee November 8th, 2009
For many years, libraries have been dreaming about a simple, easy, fast search solution that unifies all of the resources into a single repository. Current solutions for managing access to resources in the library only offer a very lengthy listing of resources with no compelling starting place. Recently, an emersion of the Discovery Layer, or Next-Generation Catalog, has been put in place to create a compelling starting point for library patrons. This talk will discuss how these Next-Generation library discovery applications can go beyond the local library holdings and beyond federated search to offer a single Google like search service across all local and subscription resources.
