Description

“Resource discovery” has many meanings, and it is now beginning to be defined as a description for library research software that allows a library user to search multiple Web-based resources simultaneously and bring back usable search results.

Planning and Implementing Resource Discovery Tools in Academic Libraries addresses the many new resource discovery tools and products in existence as well as their potential uses and applications. This timely publication will be invaluable to librarians and administrators seeking information on how to evaluate, choose, and ultimately implement a resource discover product for their library’s collection.
