“…Nara L. Newcomer (2011) and Anita Breckbill (2012) look at selecting, configuring, and searching web-scale systems for music-related information resources. More generally, implementation decisions for various systems are discussed in the "Implementation" section of Planning and Implementing Resource Discovery Tools in Academic Libraries, edited by Mary Pagliero Popp and Diane Dallis (2012).…”

Objectives -This study examines the use of print and electronic collections both before and after implementation of Summon at the University of Manitoba Libraries. Summon is a web-scale discovery service which allows discovery of all of the materials the library owns or has access to from a simple search box on the library's web page.Methods -COUNTER statistics were used to determine database, e-journal, and ebook statistics, including database search statistics (DR1) from the COUNTER Database Report 1, full-text article downloads from the COUNTER Journal Report 1 (JR1), and successful section search requests from the COUNTER Book Report 2 (BR2) for electronic resources. Sirsi, the University of Manitoba's integrated library system, provided statistics on checkouts for the libraries' circulating print monograph and serial collections. The percentage change from the pre-Summon implementation period to the post-Summon implementation period was calculated and these numbers were used to determine whether usage had increased or decreased for both print and electronic collections.Results -As expected, searches in citation databases decreased because searches were no longer being carried out in the native database as the metadata from the database is included in Summon. E-journal usage increased dramatically and e-book usage also increased for four of six providers examined. Print usage decreased, but the results were inconclusive.

“…Important for librarians (but probably ignored by most users) is the lack of clarity regarding just what is being searched and how relevancy is determined. Inevitably, web-scale discovery services fail to index at least some important content and have been shown to perform poorly in some subject areas such as law and music (Woods, 2010;Newcomer, 2011). A common finding is that librarians as well as students want more instruction on how to use discovery tools, suggesting that web-scale discovery is not as intuitive as vendors boast (e.g.…”

This is an electronic version of an article published in the print edition of the Journal of Library Administration, Volume 53(2) 147-166. It is available online at http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/wjla20#.UjthUFNlzK0 2 Abstract. Web-scale discovery services promise fast, easy searching from a single Google-like box, pleasing users and making library resources more discoverable. Some librarians embrace the concept of giving users what they have come to expect from Google, while others are concerned that this will "dumb down" searching and undermine information literacy. In this paper we explore the potential impact of web-scale discovery tools on information literacy, focusing particularly on undergraduate research skills. We review the existing literature and present findings and experiences from two mid-sized academic libraries that have adopted EBSCO Discovery Service as their library home page portal.
