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.

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

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 emails 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.)
