Broadening participation – the future of resource discovery

Abstract

Purpose

This article seeks to describe the new service offered by Talis.

Design/methodology/approach

The approach suggested in this article will not only promote the library and the value that it provides to the community as a whole, but suggests how it will increase the efficiency of library staff.

Findings

The emergence of new and innovative sites such as Google and Amazon do not threaten many responsive and adaptable libraries. Instead, they validate much that libraries have always done, bringing their expertise to the fore to a wider audience.

Originality/value

The article provides a view and explanation of Talis from the company itself illustrated with examples.
