Editor's Notes
- #4: From Library perspective: Web-scale discovery systems are increasingly important to the work of libraries in service of their users. As these discovery systems become more complex, librarians are less able to understand or explain to their users what content is included or how. The Open Discovery Initiative's recommended practice represents a significant opportunity to understand what is indexed, where it comes from, and how it is used. Increasing need to ensure that the coverage meets our needs.
- #10: Will go through the web materials in detail during this time! NEW! Information for Libraries to Increase ODI Conformance among Vendors, with information for libraries about discovery services and instructions to help ensure that your discovery service serves your users’ needs and provides access to your library’s collections. NEW! Configuring Content Providers, an inventory of library guides for ensuring content is optimized in your discovery service.
- #11: Note that ODI does not publish the checklists – content and discovery providers make them available on their websites, ODI will link to them.
- #15: ODI member Ken Varnum will provide an update on recent activities of the Open Discovery Initiative at an ALCTS talk on Monday, June 27. The presentation will include work to promote conformance statements from discovery vendors and content providers, impact of the ODI process on libraries, and the current state of interoperability among libraries, discovery platforms, and content providers via APIs and other mechanisms.
