BREAKING DOWN THE SILOS: PLANNING FOR DISCOVERY IN LIBRARY 2.0

A Midwinter Symposium presented by the Association for Library
Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS)  

Description:    
Libraries today face many choices when trying to optimize resources
discovery for their patrons.  Much of our information resides in
separate silos, yet patrons want an integrated, intuitive, and
interactive discovery experience.  Many companies have developed
products that attempt to deliver that experience.  How can libraries
evaluate the options: next generation catalog interfaces, federated
search engines, link resolvers?  How do they choose which will be the
best fit?

Robert Wolven
AUL for Bibliographic Services and Collection Development 

Roy Tennant 
Senior Program Officer, OCLC Programs and Research
