2 MANGO Discovery What is in a Discovery Tool?
Description of the current environment Introduction to MANGO Discovery and its Benefits Content of Mega-indexes Demo of MANGO Discovery with Summon Demo of MANGO Discovery with Primo Central Index Demo of MANGO Discovery with Ebsco Discovery Service Questions??

3 Discovery Tool Components
Discovery layer- user interface with a single search box that returns combined results, assists the user locating and accessing content Catalog+ - catalog data plus other sources; metadata from Aleph, Digital collections, Wolfsonian Museum Library, OSTI, CRL and Hathi Trust Mega-index – proprietary tools that index metadata from articles, reference sources, newspapers, ebooks, etc. and some full text for searching Other – content not in mega-index, full-text subscriptions, link resolver, recommender service, holdings and circ data, etc.

4 MANGO Discovery Tool Project
Working to include article search since 2009 Began working with Ex Libris’s Primo Central Index in early 2010 4 SULs beta testing the Mango/PCI (USF, UWF, UNF and UCF) Began working with other mega-indexes in early 2011, have beta of Mango/EDS and Mango/Summon Mango Discovery Layer has single search box, blended results and facets FCLA investigating content of different mega-indexes

5 MANGO Discovery Tool MANGO Discovery in combination with any of the current mega-indexes is a fully realized Discovery Tool Core philosophy is flexibility, which is key in a rapidly changing, nascent marketplace Not locked in to proprietary interface, mega-index, A&I databases, link-resolver, other vendor services Leverages the investment in existing MANGO user interface No down-time for catalog searches if mega-index is unavailable Low cost solution

6 Leverages State-wide Investment in Mango
Retention of features developed collaboratively with FIU libraries (e.g. Series Title/Volume facet, Advanced multi- boolean multi-index search, in-process request s for cataloging and special collections, ejournal tab) Continues UBorrow program for patron empowerment across disparate collections Access to SUS Union Catalog allows state-wide discovery Preserves integrated research tools and services unique to each library (e.g. location maps. Ask a librarian, push to RefWorks, etc.)
