NISO Open Discovery Initiative: Best Practices to Improve the Discovery Experience
Physical/Virtual?
Virtual session (and available to physical attendees)
Session Abstract
The NISO Open Discovery Initiative (ODI) is a committee of librarians, content providers, and discovery service representatives dedicated to enhancing discovery through greater collaboration across the library community. ODI engages all parties in the discovery chain to ensure transparency and freedom of choice through rich metadata inclusion, resource interoperability, statistical consistency, and link customization and optimization. The latest Recommended Practice was approved and published in June 2020. This presentation describes the role of ODI, its history, scope, objectives, and current and future tasks. The best practices contained in the checklists for libraries, providers and content are reviewed, and finally, the advantages of their application in institutions with Primo are presented.
