Library Journal Webinar
"Baking Discovery into the Pie: Driving Exploration within
eResources"
Date & Time: Thursday,
October 3rd, 2013, 3:00-4:00 PM ET/12:00 AM – 1:00 PM PT
Description: Discovery
service not doing what you hoped it would? Your library just bought a brand new
video collection, but you can’t you find anything in it? As models like
PDA and EBA become prevalent in all media formats, ensuring patrons can find
what they are looking for is more essential than ever. But many types of
content simply don’t rise to the top of discovery service searches, and other
searches return too many unrelated results to be truly useful.
Here’s an idea: how about baking discovery into the actual
resource? Let two product editors and a librarian walk you through their
philosophy of search–that discovery shouldn’t mean losing discipline-specific
searching, that videos and scores should be just as easy to find as books and
periodicals, and cross-search should be a given – and then see examples of the
impact this has on ease of use, find-ability, and ultimately, patron
satisfaction.
Presenters:
- Liz Dutton - Senior Editor Music, Alexander

DC area, performing everything from Mamet to Shakespeare to funk musicals.
