Discovery
systems have become prevalent in University libraries as a way of consolidating
access to a wide range of resources. Though much has been done in measuring
performance of these systems, there is still little little knowledge of their
performance in other contexts such as public or corporate libraries and
archives. Publishers are also trying to tailor their content to work with such
systems and indeed to provide specialist discovery engines of their own as well
as engaging with social networks and other innovative technologies. This half
day event will look at the new breed of discovery systems from a user,
contextual and content owner ie publisher perspective. It will bring together
industry experts, academics and practitioners to discuss these issues and will
be of value to libraries/archivists et al in all sectors, and to to
publishers and content owners in understanding how to get the best of such
systems.
The seminar will be at the usual UCL favourable rate of £110
with a discounted rate for students. Please contact Malvia Plante at [log in to unmask]. There is a final programme attached to the
