Title- Discovery tools with special reference to Index-based discovery

                                 Abstract

The present generation has been witnessing an overwhelming growth of
information. Furthermore, there has been a rapid increase in the amount of
published information, mostly in the electronic form. Nevertheless, on the
flip side, the advancement in the ICT has inculcated an expectation in the
patrons that desired information has to be ministered within in a single
search. To ease the situation, libraries which have been considered as
custodians of information, have started implementing discovery tools,
which are intended for efficient searches. A discovery tool is an online
library searching tool that provides a single-window approach to
dissociated sources subscribed by the library. This seminar discusses what
is a discovery tool and needs for implementing it in libraries. This
seminar also touches upon the models of discovery detailing the
index-based discovery, tools used in discovery services, case study and
challenges pertaining in the field.
