  • Because when you have the flexibility to offer real-time global searching across every relevant resource, regardless of where it comes from, you’re more likely to extract the right results for your users
  • Because when you’re able to adapt your discovery tools to your users needs and preferences, they’re more apt to gravitate to your gateway instead of Google
  • When those patrons can now get library search results tailored to their interests. They can search across a sea of curated academic content, not just the limited pond of one library’s holdings. They can also use the software to explore features that go beyond just search results, including topic-focused research guides and names of campus librarians who can help them further investigate a subject.
