Alternative Avenues of Discovery: Competition or Potential
- 1. Alternative Avenues of Discovery: Competition or Potential ER&L Austin April 5, 2016 Michael Levine-Clark University of Denver Jason Price SCELC Library Consortium Ido Peled Ex Libris, a ProQuest Company
- 3. Do library discovery systems really make a difference? Single publisher site referring URL data U of Denver
- 4. Is there a future (in search & content) for libraries? • The even broader question that we rarely ask • A variation on this question is, “what happens if we cede discovery to Google Scholar and its ilk?” • The promise (and threat) of Open Access
- 5. The Broader Scope of Access
- 6. Three Inseparable Components Get to students where they are at their platform of choice REACH OUT Provide simple and intuitive design SERVICES Analyze behavior and usage to faciliate an even better interaction INSIGHTS
- 7. Reach Out – Search Engines (Google, Bing, etc.)
- 8. Services - Intuitive User Interface http://initiatives.exlibrisgroup.com/2016/01/applying-ux-principles-to-design-of.html One Experience across Devices Intuitive Design Action-Oriented Design Personalization Serendipitous Discovery
- 9. Insights – Analytics Driven Design
- 10. Insight for Collection Development & User ExperienceCross Reports • Acquisitions • Cataloging • Fulfillment • UI usage • queries • Results click through • Collection development optimization • Evidence-based selection • Vendor usage • Cost per use • Collection/resource gaps • UX improvement • Facets • Layout • User services prioritization • Functionality development • Display order Data-driven DecisionsShared Data Single Analytics Platform Matching end-user activity to acquisition policy • Single interface • Single data source • Out-of-the-box and custom reports
- 11. Alternative avenues of Discovery – 3 Emerging Examples • Theme: Reach out – Libhub via Zepheira w/ Library link – Uses linked data to extend library catalogs to the web • Theme: Services – 1science Open Access Solutions – Expanding access to discoverable content via institutional repositories • Theme: Insights – Yewno inference engine – Supporting discovery through uncovering connections among concepts
- 12. Transform Link ConsumePublish Example: Google search: What does boston university library have on traumatic brain injury? Reaching out: Zephiera & Library Link - transforming library data for search engine optimization
- 13. Services: 1science - extending the reach of Institutional Repositories to OA versions of faculty publications as they become freely available on the web Example Mock UP based on PRISM IR at U. of Calgary 1science.com
- 14. Insights: Yewno’s inference agent takes the search out of discovery by revealing & connecting concepts based on underlying scholarly content Yewno.com
- 15. As you identify an item of interest and click on the ‘i’ button in the information bar on the right hand side, the full text (or whatever has been authorised by the publisher) will appear Insights: Yewno’s inference agent takes the search out of discovery by revealing & connecting concepts based on underlying scholarly content Yewno.com

Editor's Notes
- Using this same framework of three key themes in Discovery, I wanted to highlight an emerging example of each
- Zepheria’s library link is Reaching out using leveraging bibframe to duplicate catalog records in linked data triples and publishing them in a way that makes them directly accessible via web search While BIBFRAME as a true replacement for MARC is several years out, it can currently act as the MEANS, in which we can transform our richly curated into a format the Web can understand. Zepheira retains all of the links amongst the individual records – and across the entire data store. Presently, they publish in a variety of formats including Schema, Open Graph, Dublin Core, BIBFRAME and include full attribution through CC.
- The U of Calgary has 10 peer-reviewed faculty authored papers on Apoptosis in their Repository. 1sceince technology found 9 other U Calgary authored papers on apoposis An API service could allow OA versions of those papers to be linked to from the Repository using 1science technology to ensure that the link delivers the most authoritative version of the article that is freely available This service has the potential to greatly expand the coverage of library institutional repositories An example of how this could be done, this is based on a mock-up, we’re still working on integrating these with our first clients. But it’s a mock-up of how it could look with DSpace. University of Calgary, their repository is called Prism so in this case we queried Apoptosis. We found 13 papers in their repository, some were thesis and dissertations, so there were 10 real papers. I found some 9 other papers on the internet using 1science’s technology. We can show a 40% increase in their repository for Apoptosis. They could have been made available this way with an API, provides a link to where it could be found with the oaFindr button. So that means that the library doesn’t have to bother about finding an update to that, it is always self-updated when a new search is run. That’s the beauty of this, it re-simplifies the work of librarians, and its self-updating.
- A researcher can start with a concept of interest, like the decline and fall of Rome. Yewno’s tool will graph a set of related concepts based on the scholarly literature it has ingested Once a researcher has identified a set of concepts that are of interest or added a few of her own, she can discover the associations among them using the ‘multi-hop’ functionality
- Then the researcher can then drill down to access the content upon which those associations are based The lines that connect concepts link to full text or snippets that link out using openURL The beta version of this product is developing a truly alternative avenue of discovery that many students and faculty love.
