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?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
