Discovery services allow our users to see our collections and help them find the information they need. Libraries approach discovery in different ways, and these approaches have changed over time, as new platforms have been introduced. But where is discovery headed? How can discovery inform our practice and research?
Our first webinar will tackle some of these questions and will feature a broad discussion around discovery. Our panelists will discuss how discovery has changed in libraries over the years, and where it is headed.
The ETS Discovery Series provides participants the ability to explore discovery in a variety of ways. These webinars will bring together professionals from various fields of librarianship to discuss the ways they use and think about discovery with their users. Each webinar will feature panel presentation and an opportunity for Q&A. We hope this series appeals to professionals who are interested in discovery and want the opportunity to explore it from a variety of perspectives
