Discovery platforms

[Ballard, Terry]

   I am the author of a new book about libraries and social media (Google this: Putting Google and other Social Media sites to work for your library). In a chapter about discovery platforms I have a lot of material about Encore and Aquabrowser, but I could use information from other systems. Things we are looking at in particular are the percentage of searches that made use of facets to refine the search. Also, total searches in discovery compared to classic catalog. Thanks in advance for anything you want to share.
