====================================================================
*What's Covered:*
The Internet and scholarly research certainly go well together. With the
ubiquity of the Internet across most of the globe, accessing the wide range
of scholarly content and data is easier than ever.
This range includes content provider platforms, discovery service tools
enabled on library web pages, search engines such as Google and Google
Scholar, social networks and unique identifier tools that enable links to
many different points of discovery. Adding to this surfeit of discovery
capabilities, leveraging the cloud, is the continued introduction of new
discovery services.
Drawing on the recently released report by Tracy Gardner and Simon Inger,
"How Readers Discover Content in Scholarly Publications: Trends in reader
behaviour from 2005 to 2015," NFAIS presents a full-day, in-person and
virtual Workshop, *Wednesday, June 29*, on the topic of discovery in the
context of scholarly research.
This NFAIS Hybrid Workshop, to be held in-person at the *Embassy Suites Old
Town Hotel in Alexandria, VA*, will examine the diverse ways content is
made available today and how key stakeholders – including publishers,
scholars and researchers – are responding to these sometimes connected, and
often, separate roads to the discovery of high-quality, credible
information.
