Next-generation discovery: an overview of the European scene -- Breeding, Marshall [Library Technology Guides] Abstract: In this chapter we will provide a brief overview of the features and general characteristics of this new genre of library software, focusing on the products that have been deployed or developed in the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe. Some of these projects include adoption of commercial products from international vendors such as Serials Solutions, EBSCO, Ex Libris, or OCLC and others involve locally-developed software or implementation of open source products. Dissatisfaction with the online catalogues delivered as part of the library management system sparked the emergence of a new genre of products and services that focus entirely on providing an improved experience in the way that libraries provide access to their collections and services. These new catalogue products, or discovery services as they are more commonly known, embrace a more robust approach to interfaces, to content and to service delivery. Some of these basic interface techniques include: Axiell Arena

The WWW Virtual Library Library Technology Guides: Documents, Databases, News, and Commentary Precedent Study - Boston Public Library - History The Boston Public Library was designed and built by the New York architecture firm of Mead, McKim, and White in the four year period from 1888-1892. It is situated on the south side of Copley Square, opposite Richardson's Trinity Church in the Back Bay area of Boston. In the last forty years of the 19th century, the Back Bay flourished with development. When built, the library was seen as a keystone in what would be a plan to bring cultural and scientific institutions into Boston. The design for the library was as new for American Architecture as was the ideals that the library represented. This nearly wasnUt so. Amidst the myriad of styles and types of buildings within the context of the square, the Boston Public Library makes a strong statement while fitting in with its neighbors. It was decided that the halls and facade of the library should be used to bring not only literary knowledge to the people, but also appreciation of the arts.
