Presentation of interest focusing on Research and Next-Gen Catalogues « The Cataloguing Librarian: "Amy Eklund gave a very good presentation on the shortage of research we have examining next generation catalogues, and areas that need to be explored.
Key points?
We should examine next generation catalogues because:
1. So far, a build it and they will come approach has been taken with these catalogues;
2. Discovery tool overlays, such as Encore and AquaBrowser, are not integrated with the catalogue, but sit on top, like an interface;
3. Next generation catalogue features are not based on large scale of evidence; and
4. Rich content contained in our bibliographic records is still not being used to its greatest potential."
