Discovery Services, the Next Tool Libraries Must Have, or… Should Discard?
Abstract
Discovery tools have great appeal for many university libraries in the South. The main reason for this is that it makes searching user friendlier, especially for undergraduates. Many authors have expressed their enthusiasm for discovery tools and their dislike for colleagues who did not share it. Although discovery tools are still improving, they are not perfect. Most of the discussion about them focuses on matters of precision and no attention is given to recall problems. Some libraries in the North have decided not to use them and some have discarded theirs.
