Discovery is not a destination; it is a process (much as in the older, more common, legal sense of the word). Discovery has come to mean so many things that it has come to mean just about any part of the library research process: searching, finding, identifying, exploring, using. We apply “discovery” to all kinds of resources; things we librarians have purchased and put on a shelf, things we have acquired licenses to access; things we only describe, but don’t have licenses to access or possession of the physical thing. The list is expansive and nearly all-encompassing.\n\nHowever, there are underlying commonalities to the scope of “discovery.” Discovery tools are generally focused on retrieving all possible things that might be relevant to the user’s needs, casting a wide net across whatever domain of data is in scope. The set of results is generally subject to filtering after the initial search. While advanced, focused, field-based searching is possible (and frequently implemented), these tools are often meant to assuage the desires of those who are more comfortable in retrieval-based systems, in which the result lists are smaller, but more precisely and clearly related to the search query.\n\nThis book, Exploring Discovery: The front door to a Library’s Licensed and Digitized Content, seeks to demystify the breadth and depth of discovery.", "videoRecordingFormat": "", "seriesTitle": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "studio": "", "place": "", "date": "", "runningTime": "223 seconds", "ISBN": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jynPinGopn4", "accessDate": "2016-06-23T12:57:33Z", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Exploring Discovery", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "YouTube", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "EBSCO Discovery Service", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Information systems", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Library research", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Primo", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Search", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Summon", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "User experience", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "blackllight", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "discovery", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "hydra", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "library", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "primo central", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-06-23T12:57:54Z", "dateModified": "2016-06-23T12:57:54Z" } }, { "key": "B4PJ3PKZ", "version": 26, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 285737, "name": "Ideal Library Search", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/ideal_library_search", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/285737/items/B4PJ3PKZ", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/ideal_library_search/items/B4PJ3PKZ", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 810, "username": "stephenfrancoeur", "name": "Stephen Francoeur", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/stephenfrancoeur", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Varnum", "parsedDate": "2016", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "B4PJ3PKZ", "version": 26, "itemType": "book", "title": "Exploring discovery: the front door to your library's licensed and digitized content", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Kenneth J", "lastName": "Varnum" } ], "abstractNote": "The pace of change in recent decades has been dizzying.

Library staff conducted two investigations. A preliminary investigation in 2011 involved the manual review of the 100 most frequently occurring queries conducted through the site search box over the course of a month. Those 100 search terms accounted for 16 percent of total queries and were largely one-word searches for databases. In the follow-up investigation, the Library embarked on a more ambitious exploration of the 454,443 searches conducted during the winter 2011 semester, devising a method for selecting, categorizing, and summarizing user search queries. A sample of 1,201 searches from the search query logs was examined; after eliminating duplicate searches, there were 992 unique terms available for categorization. Using a non-overlapping sample of queries, a rubric was developed for categorizing user searches. Each of seven library staff members reviewed all unique terms in the sample to categorize them into the best fitting category from the rubric. After establishing a threshold for reliability among the individuals categorizing the queries, 862 unique search terms were analyzed. Based on this analysis, the most frequent kinds of searches conducted in the winter semester in 2011 on the University of Michigan Library's Web site were specific databases (28 percent), topical/exploratory types of queries (28 percent), and books (including searches by title, ISBN, call number, or a combination thereof) (16 percent).Within the sample, known-item searches comprised nearly half (44 percent) of searches in the sample. Another fifth (20 percent) of total searches were categorized as “exploratory,” supporting the need to provide broader, subject-based paths to information through the site. Somewhat surprisingly, there were a small number of article searches (article titles, or mixed searches of journal names and authors and/or title words) in the search box—an indication that users understand the University of Michigan Library primary search box is not for articles.", "publicationTitle": "Journal of Web Librarianship", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "October 2013",

"Purpose – This study aims to look at how a small group of university students used the new library web scale search discovery tool, "Summon", and whether they encountered any difficulties pertaining to navigation, ease of use and the quality of the search results. Design/methodology/approach – Researchers conducted a series of usability studies in which students were observed as they conducted some typical library resource searches using the new discovery search platform. Findings – The paper analyses the data, describes and reports the findings of the usability tests. The study found that the new homepage design of providing a single search box was an effective interface for users. The students found a single search box discovery solution was simple to use, and seemed to deliver satisfactory results on a selection of typical library search tasks. The study confirms some of the promise for web scale discovery, but points to new lines of enquiry in relation to the nature of assistance that students will need in the future, particularly in relation to their need to evaluate information. Originality/value – Web scale discovery searching is an innovation in the online searching of library collections. The study revealed how a small sample of end-users experienced the new type of searching and serendipitously identified a new issue that warrants further investigation.

Designers must also contend with the user's entire search experience and determine how search should appear on the library home page as well as in global navigation systems. In the spring of 2010, the North Carolina State University Libraries sought to answer search design questions for an upcoming Web site design effort. The Libraries evaluated two different search interfaces to determine whether a tabbed search approach with options to pre-select silos is an effective design for end users.

The resulting qualitative data, noting any demonstrated trouble using the software as well as feedback or suggested improvements that the users may have about the software, will assist academic libraries in making or validating purchase and subscription decisions for these interfaces as well as help vendors make data-driven decisions about interface and experience enhancements.", "publicationTitle": "Library Trends", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "Summer 2012", "volume": "61", "issue": "1", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "186-207", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Library Trends", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "00242594", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "EBSCOhost", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Academic libraries", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Computer software", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Library catalog management", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Library catalogs", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Library publications", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Library users", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-06-23T12:16:39Z", "dateModified": "2016-06-23T12:16:39Z" } }, { "key": "DP4GXIRV", "version": 17, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 285737, "name": "Ideal Library Search", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/ideal_library_search", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/285737/items/DP4GXIRV", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/ideal_library_search/items/DP4GXIRV", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/285737/items/J5EZ7SAP", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 810, "username": "stephenfrancoeur", "name": "Stephen Francoeur", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/stephenfrancoeur", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "DP4GXIRV", "version": 17, "parentItem": "J5EZ7SAP", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "EBSCO Record", "accessDate": "2016-06-23T12:16:24Z", "url": "http://remote.baruch.cuny.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=lls&AN=80160902&site=ehost-live&scope=cite", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-06-23T12:16:39Z", "dateModified": "2016-06-23T12:16:39Z" } }, { "key": "AVCA7P7F", "version": 16, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 285737, "name": "Ideal Library Search", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/ideal_library_search", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/285737/items/AVCA7P7F", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/ideal_library_search/items/AVCA7P7F", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 810, "username": "stephenfrancoeur", "name": "Stephen Francoeur", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/stephenfrancoeur", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Condit Fagan et al.", "parsedDate": "2012-03", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "AVCA7P7F", "version": 16, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Usability Test Results for a Discovery Tool in an Academic Library", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Jody1, faganjc@jmu.edu", "lastName": "Condit Fagan" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Meris2, manderma@jmu.edu", "lastName": "Mandernach" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Carl S.3, nelsoncs@jmu.edu", "lastName": "Nelson" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Jonathan R.4, paulojr@jmu.edu", "lastName": "Paulo" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Grover5, saundebn@jmu.edu", "lastName": "Saunders" } ], "abstractNote": "Discovery tools are emerging in libraries. These tools offer library patrons the ability to concurrently search the library catalog and journal articles. While vendors rush to provide feature-rich interfaces and access to as much content as possible, librarians wonder about the usefulness of these tools to library patrons. To learn about both the utility and usability of EBSCO Discovery Service, James Madison University (JMU) conducted a usability test with eight students and two faculty members. The test consisted of nine tasks focused on common patron requests or related to the utility of specific discovery tool features. Software recorded participants' actions and time on task, human observers judged the success of each task, and a post-survey questionnaire gathered qualitative feedback and comments from the participants. Participants were successful at most tasks, but specific usability problems suggested some interface changes for both EBSCO Discovery Service and JMU's customizations of the tool. The study also raised several questions for libraries above and beyond any specific discovery-tool interface, including the scope and purpose of a discovery tool versus other library systems, working with the large result sets made possible by discovery tools, and navigation between the tool and other library services and resources. This article will be of interest to those who are investigating discovery tools, selecting products, integrating discovery tools into a library web presence, or performing evaluations of similar systems.", "publicationTitle": "Information Technology & Libraries", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "March 2012", "volume": "31", "issue": "1", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "83-112", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "Information Technology & Libraries", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://remote.baruch.cuny.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=lls&AN=76373795&site=ehost-live", "accessDate": "2016-06-23T12:14:34Z", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "07309295", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "EBSCOhost", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Academic libraries", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Bibliographic databases", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Computer software", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Content mining", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Customer satisfaction", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "DATABASE searching", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Evaluation -- Research", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Information retrieval -- Methodology", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Information storage & retrieval systems", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Information-Seeking Behavior", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Keyword searching", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Library orientation", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "ONLINE library catalogs", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Observation (Scientific method)", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Questionnaires", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Research -- Methodology", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Scales (Weighing instruments)", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Serial publications", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Systems design", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Unobtrusive measures", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Usability testing" }, { "tag": "User experience" }, { "tag": "User interfaces (Computer systems)", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "metadata", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-06-23T12:15:04Z", "dateModified": "2016-06-23T12:15:04Z" } }, { "key": "CWD8GMZ7", "version": 14, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 285737, "name": "Ideal Library Search", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/ideal_library_search", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/285737/items/CWD8GMZ7", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/ideal_library_search/items/CWD8GMZ7", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/285737/items/BNF6VRP2", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 810, "username": "stephenfrancoeur", "name": "Stephen Francoeur", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/stephenfrancoeur", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "CWD8GMZ7", "version": 14, "parentItem": "BNF6VRP2", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "linked_url", "title": "Code4Lib Journal Snapshot", "accessDate": "2016-06-08T12:30:05Z", "url": "http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/78", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "", "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2016-06-08T12:30:05Z", "dateModified": "2016-06-08T12:30:05Z" } }, { "key": "BNF6VRP2", "version": 14, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 285737, "name": "Ideal Library Search", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/ideal_library_search", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/285737/items/BNF6VRP2", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/ideal_library_search/items/BNF6VRP2", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 810, "username": "stephenfrancoeur", "name": "Stephen Francoeur", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/stephenfrancoeur", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Clark", "parsedDate": "2008-06-23", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "BNF6VRP2", "version": 14, "itemType": "journalArticle", "title": "Making Patron Data Work Harder: User Search Terms as Access Points?", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Jason A.", "lastName": "Clark" } ], "abstractNote": "Montana State University (MSU) Libraries are experimenting with re-using patron-generated data to create browseable access points for the Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETD) collection.
