The document discusses discovery in academia, including approaches that have been experimented with and lessons that have been learned. It notes that discovery is an area seeing global investment and outlines some future directions, including innovative cataloguing, linking data, enhanced shared services, and ensuring infrastructure, skills, and data are adequate to support discovery. The document provides several links to additional resources on topics related to academic discovery.

Near future!Future is not marc basedFuture is unlikely to be covered by discovery toolsWe have experimented with some new approaches so you can learn from them and plan your next steps in this areaWe are not alone – global movement
SkillsIf we are going to be prepared to cope with new changes in technology for resource discovery we need to make sure we have the right skills in libraries and constantly monitor those skillsDataTo ensure we are able to be flexible and innovative with our services we need to ensure we focus on our data rather than our systems. Rate of technical change is so fast that we need to ensure we can react to opportunites as they arise, not rely on others to take advantage of new developmentsInfrastructureWe need to work together as a sector to identify promising shared service opportunities and to identify the most effective way to exploit them when they arise, by doing it ourselves or working in partnership
