issues and opportunities surrounding indexed search and the implications 
for libraries and end users. This event is being held at ALA Midwinter 
in Seattle, Washington. ALCTS is the Association of Library Collection & 
Technical Services division of the American Library Association.

Sun, Jan 27. 2013
8:30 am - 10:00 am WSCC-TCC LL3 (The Conference Center of the Washington 
State Convention Center room LL3)

At this panel discussion, participants will learn about issues and 
opportunities surrounding indexed search and the preliminary results of 
NISO’s Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) survey. This initiative is a 
collaboration between libraries, publishers, and discovery vendors. You 
will hear more about this initiative from a discovery vendor perspective 
and what it means to libraries as customers. Finally, an academic 
librarian will present considerations of the importance of ODI 
initiatives based on experience with implementation of a Web Scale 
Discovery tool. Lively discussion to follow!
