Web-scale discovery systems are becoming increasingly common in libraries and this book aims to show librarians how to get the most out of these systems through the management of metadata. Products such as Primo (Ex Libris), Summon (ProQuest), EBSCO Discovery Service and OCLC WorldCat are highlighted, but most of the discussions focus on discovery systems in general. The contributors have a range of expertise meaning the book covers many different aspects. Each chapter is designed to be read independently so there is a certain amount of crossover and repetition but this often serves to emphasise important points and arguments.
