In the context of libraries, 'discovery' is the process of finding appropriate resources to meet an information need. We are in a new age of discovery where technology has enabled today's researchers to explore increasingly vaster realms of information more efficiently than ever before.
What cutting-edge tools and services are emerging from the growing suite of discovery interfaces and indexes? Where is 'discovery' going, and what tools and techniques are emerging as standard elements in the library technology toolbox?
