Confronting User Behavior Head-On: How Ex Libris Direct Integration Helped
Conference or Developers' Day
Conference
Abstract
In an ideal world, if every user of every library knew to start their journey at the library, access to all resources from the library could not be easier. Integrated Library Systems, such as ALMA, serve as the central knowledgebase of print and electronic resources and Primo and SFX have long ensured easy, seamless access.
This is not an ideal world. As users’ expectations, research patterns and experiences have continued to evolve, we can no longer rely on them to reach out to the library if they encountered a barrier and causes the role of the library in a users’ workflow to diminish. This forces libraries to change their ways and adapt to the change in users’ behavior.
In this session, we will investigate how browser extensions, such as Library Access, can help libraries create additional significant value, from the data they are already maintaining. We will look at how utilizing systems, with Open APIs and standard compliant responses, can help.
