NERCOMP New Discovery Tools symposium — summary report

In Feb., I attended a symposium on New Discovery Tools sponsored by NERCOMP. The primary sessions were

  • One Library’s Journey Toward Next-Generation Discovery and Delivery (Steve Shadle, Serials Access Librarian, University of Washington Libraries)
  • Information, Not Location: Putting the What in Front of the Where So Patrons can Find When, Why and How (Ken Varnum, Web Systems Manager, University of Michigan Library)

with additional “lightning presentations”.   If you are interested in reading my impressions, I’ve uploaded a summary here (MS Word doc).
