The following titles are available from the Oregon State Library:
[cid:image009.jpg at 01D1FE2F.2997B060]Exploring Discovery: The front door to your library's licensed and digitized content edited by Kenneth J. Varnum. American Library Association, 2016. 978-0-838-9-1414-4.
We're in a new age of Discovery. Not of the physical world but rather one that serves up appropriate resources for your library's researchers, thanks to advancements in handling metadata, natural language processing, and keyword searching. For you, Discovery might be shorthand for single-index products such as Serials' Solutions Summon, EBSCO Discovery, and OCLC's WorldCat Discovery. Yet even those tools require adjustments to meet your institution's specific needs. With first-hand profiles of 19 library projects, Varnum and his roster of contributors offer guidance on the complete range of discovery services, from the broad sweep of vendors' products to the fine points of specialized holdings.
Topics include:
* migrating from a traditional ILS to a library services platform;
* creating a task list for usability testing of discovery;
* managing internal development requirements within the constraints of a small or mid-sized library;
* applying agile software methodology to a Blacklight implementation;
* real-world examples of usability testing, including a small liberal arts college's implementation of VuFind;
* meeting the challenge of three different metadata formats;
* practices in the Primo community for integrating open access content into the front end;
* serving mobile users with an app and responsive Web design;
* analyzing the use of facets in search;
* using a single discovery tool across a library, museum, and archive; and
* implementing discovery with geospatial datasets.
Easy to dip into as needed, this comprehensive examination of discovery services will prove invaluable to IT, web development, electronic resource management, and technical services staff.

[cid:image011.jpg at 01D1FE2F.2997B060]The Patron-Driven Library: A practical guide for managing collections and services in the digital age by Dee Ann Allison. Chandos Publishing, 2013. 978-1-84334-736-1.
Libraries in the USA and globally are undergoing quiet revolution. Libraries are moving away from a philosophy that is collection-centered to one focused on service. Technology is key to that change. The Patron Driven Library explores the way technology has moved the focus from library collections to services, placing the reader at the center of library activities. The book reveals the way library users are changing, and how social networking, web delivery of information, and the uncertain landscape of e-print has energized librarians to adopt technology to meet a different model of the library while preserving core values. Following an introduction, the first part begins with the historical milieu, and moves on to current challenges for financing and acquiring materials, and an exploration of why the millennial generation is transformational. The second part examines how changes in library practice can create a culture for imagining library services in an age of information overflow. The final chapter asks: Whither the library?
Covers:
* Provides a synthesis of current research on the impact of technology on behavior, and connecting it with library services
* Offers examples and practical advice for incorporating technology to meet user expectations and assess services
* Suggests management techniques to overcome barriers to change and technology innovation

Most library staff are able to use their library's interlibrary loan service to borrow professional development material. However, if you do not have access to these services or are not currently affiliated with a library, please contact me to discuss alternative options for borrowing the material.
