Hello Dawn,
We're in the early stages of reviewing four commercial products:
1)OCLC WorldCat Local (my notes: http://lncn.eu/xy7)
2)Ex Libris Primo (my notes: http://lncn.eu/ptv)
3)EBSCO Discovery Service (my notes: http://lncn.eu/aijp)
4)Serials Solutions Summon (no notes yet - awaiting demo)
We're also looking at a 'catch-all' review of open-source initiatives,
including VuFind, and some local work funded by JISC (the Jerome
project: http://jerome.library.lincoln.ac.uk/)
There's some very useful information about discovery platforms on the
HELibTech wiki, at: http://helibtech.com/Discovery
Regards,
Paul

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Resource Discovery Platforms
Hi,
Would anyone be able to provide list of what discovery platforms are
currently available on the market including open source platforms?
I need to write a market report that details what products are
available. Also, for those of you that have gone through the process of
buying a system would you be able to share with me what criteria you
used to purchase and let me know how many of these systems you looked at
via demonstrations?
I realise similar questions have been asked in the past but any help you
can offer me would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Dawn
