Discovery Systems Used in Academic Libraries Projects & Case Study
This document discusses discovery systems used in academic libraries and provides projects and case studies using different discovery systems. It begins with an overview of what discovery systems are and key vendors like Primo, Summon, and EDS. It then describes projects using Summon that involved user experience studies and improvements. The case study on migrating to Summon 2 discusses the planning, analysis including surveys, design including prototypes, and implementation. Finally, it reviews implementing EDS and using its API, comparing features of Primo, Summon, and EDS.

Editor's Notes
- #2 “The Web & Discovery Services Librarian will play an important role in shaping the library’s digital learning environment. We’d like you to show us a website or discovery product that you configured -- or one that someone else worked on, but you believe is very well done -- and demonstrate what you think makes it effective. And, since no site is perfect, let us know what you think can be improved upon.”
- #5 Where is library data? They can be in different systems, for example, in ILS, it can be in a MARC record, in local dbs, it can be an Excel file, in IR it can be an RDF or XML record, in DAM …..how could we retreive and access the data in different library systems? Metadata schema. Metadata is used to both improve accessibility and discoverability; and to control authentication for the data we have.
