• Abstract:
  Iowa DOT Librarian Leighton Christiansen presents this Transportation Librarians Roundtable on web-scale discovery. Current library catalog technology has challenges with discovery: collection size, format variety, electronic access, remotely hosted content, interface diversity, user search preferences, and full text delivery. If something is not discovered, it cannot be used. Web-scale discovery provides a single search across a library’s full range of collections for quick searches of librarian-curated content.
