CHICAGO — A new episode of American Libraries Live — a one-hour discussion on Web-Scale Discovery Services  — will air live at 2 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, Oct. 8. This free streaming video broadcast is brought to you by American Libraries and can be viewed from your home, library or on the go.

Web-scale discovery services are moving library technology forward by leaps and bounds. According to library systems expert Marshall Breeding, “Web-scale discovery services—tools that search seamlessly across a wide range of local and remote content and provide relevance-ranked results—have the ambitious goal of providing a single point of entry into a library’s collections.”

Many librarians have questions about web-scale discovery services. What will change? What technology is available and at what cost? What will we need to know to make informed decisions?

On this episode of AL Live, Marshall Breeding will lead an expert panel in a discussion on the topic of web-scale discovery services.
