English abstract

Is your library implementing or considering a “discovery” technology? Are you wondering if this will really bring into relief everything your users are “licensed to read”? Are you considering what the effects may be for public-facing services such as reference and instruction, or just curious about experiences at other libraries? Academic librarians using two different discovery products, EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and Summon, will consider the transformative potential of these tools in light of the learning outcomes that guide us. Drawing from our experiences, we will discuss possibilities, issues and questions that emerge in a discovery environment, including: - ways to conceptualize information literacy - consequent changes to practices in reference and instruction - technical decisions/infrastructure - implications for user experience - proliferation of entry points - issues related to branding and wayfinding
