[Eril-l] Timing of Discovery versus LMS

[Ken Chad]

How about a library centric resource/reading list system? http://helibtech.com/Reading_Resource%20lists. Many universities in the UK, Australia and New Zealand find these deliver a higher return on investment in term of (especially undergrad) users. They integrate with the ILS but perhaps more importantly the learning management system. Students love them! They provide a contextual (course) aspect to discovery highlighting (annotating) for example essential and background print and digital readings - even on a week by week basis

One thing to consider when you choose a discovery system is to what extent it will be compatible with your future LMS of choice, otherwise you might have to switch discovery services twice. That means if you like Alma, go with Primo or Summon. If you like Sierra or something open-source like Koha or Folio, go with EDS.
