English abstract

A thorough assessment of Worldcat Local (WCL) is presented, in light of its implementation at the Library System of the University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras (LS). First, a description of its structure, content coverage, configuration process and search interface is provided, in order to explore their impact on the discovery experience. Second, the results of a survey conducted among the academic community to find out its views about the discovery tool are offered. It is concluded that, although WCL has not fulfilled the expectations of the LS from an administrative perspective, users value the availability of a tool that allows them to speed up information search.

Spanish abstract

Se presenta una evaluación amplia de Worldcat Local (WCL), a la luz de su implementación en el Sistema de Bibliotecas de la Universidad de Puerto Rico en Río Piedras (SB). Primeramente, se realiza una descripción detallada de su estructura, alcance, proceso de configuración e interfaz de búsqueda para explorar cómo sus rasgos inciden en la experiencia de descubrimiento. En segundo lugar, se ofrecen los resultados de un sondeo realizado entre la comunidad universitaria para conocer su opinión sobre el metabuscador. Se concluye que, si bien WCL no ha llenado las expectativas del SB desde la óptica administrativa, los usuarios valoran la disponibilidad de una herramienta que les permita agilizar la búsqueda de información.
