Abstract

Chapter 2 of
Library Technology Reports
(vol. 50, no. 1) “Library Resource Discovery Products: Context, Library Perspectives, and Vendor Positions” provides more in-depth information about each of the major library resource discovery products. Profiles given for each product or service provide contextual information regarding the organization responsible for the product, as well as data, when it’s available, on the number of libraries that have implemented the product and major events in its development history. Each profile includes a narrative response where the responsible organization provides additional information regarding interesting features that may not be well covered in the specific questions to which they responded in the completed questionnaire.
