Discovery Layer Decisions and Configurations – A Panel Discussion. Decisions abound when implementing a discovery layer. Does the library use one discovery layer to access all their materials? Or select multiple products? Or create different instances of the same product? For the different products/instances, which parts of the collection are targeted? This session will be a panel discussion between three libraries on how they reached their decisions, how they implemented them, and how they assessed their impact.

First Activity
I’ve request our meeting at Annual to be Saturday afternoon. This is the program that is planned.

Discovery Layer Decisions and Configurations: A Panel Discussion

Decisions abound when implementing a discovery layer. Does the library use one discovery layer to access all their materials? Or select multiple products? Or create different instances of the same product? For the different products/instances, which parts of the collection are targeted? This session will be a panel discussion between four libraries on how they reached their decisions, how they implemented them, and how they assessed their impact.
