Breeding, Marshall, Smarter Libraries through Technology: Balancing Print and Digital
It's a basic observation that libraries today remain committed to providing access and services to collections spanning all possible formats. While libraries generally see increasing proportions of digital content, print has not vanished from the scene as many predicted a couple of decades ago. Libraries therefore must manage complex collections spanning physical and digital formats. |

Breeding, Marshall, An Open Source Option for Public Library E-book Lending
A collaboration between DPLA, NYPL, and LYRASIS is working to develop a new alternative for public library e-book lending. 1 This infrastructure includes an open source repository, a mobile e-book reader, and a marketplace for libraries to purchase titles for lending. In the context where e-book lending for public libraries is dominated by commercial platforms, this new alternative represents a community-based alternative that is based on open source software and a non-profit business model. |

Breeding, Marshall, Ex Libris Consolidates Discovery Indexes
Consistent with previous announcements, Ex Libris is creating a single discovery index that will power both of the company's discovery products, Primo and Summon.5 Following the acquisition of Ex Libris by ProQuest, the company's product portfolio included two index-based discovery products, each with distinctive interfaces and features. At the time of the merger, the company assured its customers that both products would be supported indefinitely. Both Primo and Summon are widely implemented in academic libraries. Given the substantial differences between Summon and Primo, combining them into a single interface will likely not be well accepted by customers. |
