- 18. Resource Discovery in Libraries - Vikas Bhushan
- 19. Resources Discovery DSTC has defined it as real or conceptual objects that can be static, dynamic or persistent. It also says that discovery involves finding and retrieving, and includes: • The appropriate presentation of resources; • The ability to query and browse; • User management of resources. geekyelibrarian.wordpress.com

- 32. Provision of Alert Services through SMS • SMS technology is now being used by many libraries to deliver their services more effectively and efficiently • SMS could be used to provide quick, easy access to library services • To remind the user about their due of books and if they want to reissue it then they require to send an sms rather than visiting the library • They can know about the availability of any particular book by sending sms. • The sms facility can be used as a medium for the communication of reference queries in libraries • SMS is a cost effective and efficient interactive communication system suitable for libraries other than email 5/31/2013

- 37. Mobile OPAC • The mobile interface provides access to the integral parts of the OPAC: – Search (Keyword, author, title, subject) – Search scope (College, University) – Basic display of results (cover images, title, author, publisher, description, ISBN) – Patron account (renew all items, view unpaid transactions) 5/31/2013

- 42. Impact of Resources Discovery •Primary search tool that extends beyond print resources •More comprehensive information discovery environments •Required less time for information •Getting scatter resources in a single interface 5/31/2013
- 43. What difficulties are encountered in implementing ILMS/Resource Discovery? •Lack of staff preparation in library automation •Infrastructure (Hardware, Software, Network) •Library fund •Lack of resources •Library management •User requirements •Support from administration 5/31/2013
- 44. Conclusion •As emerging discovery platforms for libraries offer enormous potential, they certainly leverage implementation of other web-based library services. •Transitioning to the next phase in the library automation history, discovery platforms promise an impeccable resource discovery experience for users, if the resources are relevant, contextual and convenient, most importantly retaining them on library portals. •The researchers finding the right resources through the medley of overloaded information resources is a demanding job and a pressing need for which discovery platforms would give a major fillip. •Although the technological adaptation and diffusion vary to different countries, in India the library automation industry’s growth has been rather slack and sluggish. 5/31/2013
