The document discusses eDiscovery tools used in the Treasury Library, with a focus on the OpenURL resolver. The OpenURL resolver allows users to discover additional full text journal articles and resources by integrating searches across multiple subscribed databases. It provides options to access full text, save citations, or request documents through interlibrary loan. While it does not search databases itself, the OpenURL resolver streamlines discovery by enabling links between related records across different sources. The Treasury Library uses the resolver along with an eResources portal, MARC records, and links to discovery tools like Libraries Australia and Google Scholar to optimize access to electronic holdings.

1. eDiscovery Tools in Treasury Library Focusing on Open URL Resolver as eDiscovery enabler ACT Law Librarians, NLA, 19 Mar 2009 Renata Dyer, Treasury

2. Traditional discovery tools Catalogue Search Library Web site browsing/searching Digital Collections Portal e-Discovery Layers Information Enterprise Portals Federated/faceted Search RSS feeds MARC records OpenURL Resolver (known as Article Linker)

3. Treasury Library eDiscovery Tools eResources Portal (A-Z list) MARC records (over 9,000 titles) OpenURL Resolver (8 sources configured)

4. e-Resources Portal One-stop shop for discovery and access to all electronic journal holdings Seamless resources discovery: one search displays both: a record and its access details including terms and conditions of use Reveals the host-sources (host databases) via 856 tag

5. MARC records Integration of electronic holdings with the traditional library material via OPAC search One search retrieves both holdings if available (2 records) Discovery of e-Resources (host databases) via 856 tag

6. OpenURL Resolver … is not a federated search but ‘integrates’ otherwise disperse collections … it has a potential to streamline services by enabling clients to either continue searching in library databases save the article record in a citation management tool or request a document delivery service Benefits More efficient use of available resources (abstract databases) Enables discovery of eResources optimising their usage Considerations User may misinterpret its function : it does not search, it just utilises linking technology –that means it is only as good as publishers’ products Some of the databases are not OpenURL compliant - this may be confusing from users perspective
