Dear friends, Please see the Excerpts about Web scale Discovery service appeared in Library System Report 2015. Read full report : http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2015/05/01/library-systems-report/ "Interest in discovery services continues to build among academic libraries as they strive to optimize the impact of their investments in scholarly electronic resources, in balance with their print collections. *EBSCO reported 2,634 new subscriptions to EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and 8,246 total *installations. EDS finds use in academic libraries as well as public, school, and special libraries. Unlike other providers of index-based discovery services, EBSCO has not developed its own resource management product but instead focuses on integrating EDS with any ILS the library currently has in place. Integration partnerships are in place with more than 30 ILS providers globally. Examples include Encore Duet, an integration of EDS into Innovative’s discovery product compatible with Sierra or Millennium, and integration of EDS with SirsiDynix Enterprise. Work has recently been completed to enable libraries using OCLC’s WorldShare Management Services to apply EDS as the patron interface. Ex Libris and EBSCO remain at loggerheads with regard to populating Primo Central with EBSCO content and integrating EDS and Alma. *Ex Libris made 88 new contracts for Primo in 2014, increasing its total installations to 1,529. *This count includes those packaged with Alma as well as those sold to libraries using it with other ILS products. Ex Libris recently entered a partnership with ProQuest to index its content products in Primo Central. *ProQuest reported 195 new subscriptions to Summon, increasing its total to 697 installations.* In 2014, ProQuest announced the company had increased the Summon index by 350 million records, or 16%, and added new features to Summon 2.0, launched in 2013. ProQuest has also moved Summon from its own data centers to the cloud using Amazon Web Services (AWS)."
