Marketing and assessing your discovery layer can help you raise awareness about this tool and make sure your users are finding the information they need. Especially when you're changing a discovery layer or promoting it to remote users, you need a way to let as many people know. This webinar will discuss how two institutions have marketed their discovery layer and ways they've assessed its usefulness.
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 presentations 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.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of this webinar, the participant will be able to:
- Understand strategies different institutions have used to market and assess the usefulness of their discovery layer
- Reflect on their own practices for marketing and assessing their discovery layer in order to think about potential future changes or projects
Who Should Attend
Anyone who is involved with discovery at any type of library is encouraged to attend. However, a focus for this webinar is to help prepare people to make change with their discovery layer, so a specific ideal audience would be library staff who are in charge of or on a committee where a discovery change is being discussed or implemented.
