Web Scale Discovery tools
Dear Professionals;
I would like to share this information with you regarding Web Scale Discovery tools
Merits of Discovery tools :
- Single Point of Entry
- Pre-harvested
- Centralized Index
- Vendor neutral
- Relevancy
- Robust Features
- Customizable
World wide majority of the universities are using : Serials Solutions Summon ;OCLCs WorldCat Local ; ExLibris' Primo ; EBSCO Discovery Services (EDS) In our library (IITHLibrary), we setup trial for Summon> IITHFind ( you can view ).
Web Scale Discovery tools are available :
- AquaBrowser Library
- Arena
- Blacklight
- EBSCO Discovery Service
- Encore
- Endeca
- Primo
- SOPAC
- Scriblio

If anybody interested to setup discovery tool in their library first see the features>>>>>>>>. Several surveys and studies says that :
- A centralized index—to the article level & full text
- Harvested from many sources (not from Google scholar )
- Integrated with full text delivery/ Something you license
- NOT federated/brokered/broadcast search
- Understands library's holdings/rights
- Each vendor has agreements with several content suppliers. (Ask... How many ??) ; In addition to this harvest locally held material like catalog and IR.
- see the content coverage and agreement with publishers.
- Relevance ranking cannot be compared with Google page rank
Federated search engine how it works :
