[Web4lib] Discovery Systems: Solutions a User Could Love? MARS Local Systems & Services Forum at ALA

[Carole Pilkinton]

The RUSA/MARS Local Systems & Services Committee invites you to join our 
discussion forum 'Discovery Systems: Solutions a User Could Love?'
When: Sunday, June 27, 2010 from 1:30-3:30 pm
Where: JW Marriott Hotel Washington DC (14th St NW at E St NW)
Panelists include:
- Marshall Breeding will provide an "Overview of Discovery Systems."
- Scott R. Anderson will share Millersville University's experience with 
EBSCO's Discovery Service.
- Dale Poulter will share Vanderbilt University's experience with Primo 
Central.
- Ellen Safely will share the University of Texas at Dallas's experience 
with Innovative's Encore discovery platform.

Our panelists will highlight the experiences of libraries that have 
implemented "next generation discovery tools" that provide access to 
library collections from a single search box. Panelists will focus their 
comments on user response and subsequent assessment of the local 
implementation.  Discussion forum participants will be able to share 
their experiences with discovery tools and ask questions following the 
panelists. A summary of the key ideas will be available at 
http://connect.ala.org/node/104915 following Annual.
