The Discovery Payoff: “Summon is the shit, för övrigt”
Hej! Jag är ganska ny på bibliotekssökningar och hi9ade idag e9 examensarbete som jag ville läsa (nr 4340). Därför gick jag Fll biblioteket för a9 låna det. Väl där hi9ade jag det men fick även reda på a9 det fanns som e-‐kopia vilket var vad jag ville ha i första hand. Därför hade jag sparat ca 20 minuter av min Fd om det hade stå9 på sökresultatet jag fick i CHANS a9 den fanns som e-‐kopia. Eller ännu bä9re, en länk Fll e-‐kopians fulltext, precis som det finns i CPL (bibliotekarien visade mig). Summon is the shit, för övrigt! :)

”Basic scholarly informa>on use pracFces have shiOed rapidly in recent years, and as a result the academic library is increasingly being disintermediated from the discovery process, risking irrelevance in one of its core funcFonal areas”

”The future of libraries? Technology has created a very different context for the missions of academic and research libraries”

”Implica>ons for libraries which are shared by mul>ple studies • The library serves many consFtuencies, with different needs and behaviours
• Library systems must do be9er at providing seamless access to resources
• Librarians must increasingly consider a greater variety of digital formats and content
• More digital resources of all kinds are be9er
• Library systems and content must be prepared for changing user behaviours
• Library systems need to look and funcFon more like search engines, i.e., Google and Yahoo, and Web services, i.e. Amazon.com, since these are familiar to users who are comfortable and confident in using them
• High-‐quality metadata is becoming more important for discovery of appropriate resources
• The library must adverFse its brand, its value, and its resources be9er within the community”

Who use a library in 2010? Everything should be on the internet.
Make a search engine where I can search for keywords in all the databases/e-‐journals available instead of having to go through every database/journal with one search word
The digital library is extremely useful
Because we are doing projects and the most quick and effecHve way is to get informaHon is to search on the internet.
I mostly use e-‐journals
An improved search engine on the papers we have access to through chalmers library
Help you to know more about different databases. Difficult to know which ones to use.
I mainly use the e-‐journal/e-‐book resources, which i find excellent. However, the search funcFons are not great, so I usually locate arFcles using google and
use the library proxy to access them.
To be able to search the database! ... Which searches all the good databases that you have on your site. But on the same Fme! … It is also good when you cant
specify which area your ”thing” is located in.
Easier access to published technical reports (I found them very hard to find through the library web page and eventually turned to google instead).
