*CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS*

*Proposal Submission Deadline: *February 28, 2011**

*Planning and Implementing Resource Discovery Tools in Academic Libraries**
*

A book edited by Mary Popp and Diane Dallis

Indiana University Libraries Bloomington, IN U.S.A.



To be published by IGI Global:

http://igi-global.com/AuthorsEditors/AuthorEditorResources/CallForBookChapters/CallForChapterDetails.aspx?CallForContentId=4404826d-730e-4ae5-8b71-6ff92792f062



*Introduction:*

The concept of “resource discovery” has many meanings. Only now is it
beginning to be defined as a description for library research software that
allows a library user to search multiple Web-based resources simultaneously
and bring back usable search results beginning to be refined. The mission
of this book is to provide librarians and administrators with information
they can use to evaluate and implement a resource discovery product—to
determine how well such software can meet the needs of their users, to make
a product choice based on their local needs, to develop plans for
implementation, to implement the software and integrate it into the research
lives of users, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the software in their
own environments.

* *

Resource discovery tools have become more mainstream resources. As
librarians work to find, purchase and implement such products as EBSCO
Discovery Service, Encore, Primo, and Summon as well as open source tools they
need to develop structured procedures for review and implementation that
ensure they are using funds wisely. To date, very little has been published
on this topic and only a small number of conference programs and
presentations have been scheduled or given. There is an immediate need for
information and shared ideas.

* *

*Objective of the Book: *
We have the following objectives for this book:

   - Propose a working definition of “resource discovery” that can be used
   in professional discussions about resource discovery products.
   - Identify user behaviors based on empirical research that lead to a need
   for “resource discovery.”
   - Identify best practices for selecting a discovery tool.* *
   - Identify best practices for setting up a discovery tool and making it
   available to users.
   - Locate and share usability test results for resource discovery and
   related tools and their implementation into library products and services.
   - Present representative examples of the implementation of discovery
   tools.
   - Identify areas of concern in use of a resource discovery tool and
   suggest future enhancements.

*Target Audience: *
The primary audience for this book is composed of librarians and library
administrators in academic libraries, both large and small. Librarians who
are interested in providing resources for users to find the information they
need, who maintain library Web sites and catalogs, or provide library
instruction to students, faculty and staff in colleges and universities will
find the overview information useful. Library administrators who must set
priorities and find funding for new resources will be able to use the book
to help them plan their review of the marketplace, selection of an
appropriate tool, and implementation of that tool.

*Recommended topics include but are not limited to, the following:***

User behavior and expectations for library web sites and finding tools

How the digital consumer experience influences online research

What libraries have learned from federated search

How college students, faculty members, or other researchers find information

Selecting a discovery tool

Integrating local digital collections and non-mainstream resources into
discovery tools

User testing and user-centered design in implementing discovery solutions

Issues in implementing a discovery tool

Representative examples of discovery tools in use including product choice,
user input, setting up the discovery tool, and lessons learned

Areas of concern in use of the discovery tool
  Submission Procedure

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit *on or before February
28, 2011*, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and
concerns of his or her proposed chapter. The proposal should summarize the
proposed contents of the paper and provide a draft outline of major points
to be included. **



Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by *March 28, 2011* about the
status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are
expected to be submitted by *June 30, 2011.* All submitted chapters will be
reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested
to serve as reviewers for this project.
