Experience with virtual library 1.0?● Specialized lists considered useful
● Very painful to update
(~ 3200 hand entered and updated items for the
Physical Sciences Library)
● Does not leverage information in catalog
(search either local items or whole catalog)
CuLLR data flow and components
CuLLR = Curated List of Library Resources
First stage is general...
PLOP = Persistent Library Object Pages
...and then for each virtual library
Expectations for virtual library 2.0?● More functional as can relatively easily define a
large subset of items in the catalog as relevant
● Less painful to update. Significant effort to
minimize manual work updating
● May want ability to add items not in catalog
● Don't yet know how similarly different virtual
libraries will use CuLLR
Centralized Discovery and Access Facilities at Cornell
● Goal is to provide “one search box” as a starting point for searches over all items
● Recent decision to purchase Summon● Roll out first as article search replacing
EBSCOhost (January 2012)● Expect to integrate catalog and other sources
(e.g. eCommons) but not everything
Approach
● Include what we can and what works in Summon (expect at least articles, catalog, IR)
● Use additional result panes as necessary● Create system that gives overview with links to
more specialized searches● Surface local resources and local expertise● Enable semantic queries
Integration Layer
Open question
● How do we use information from disciplinary virtual libraries in the central discovery and access system?● Inherent tension between local and global● Won't know user area initially, might infer likely area
from query/results● How do we deal with possibly conflicting information
about one resource as “used” in multiple virtual libraries?
Multiple panes vs one result set
Panes● Easier to implement
● Shows space of possible results
● Avoid trying to rank apples and oranges together
