                                       DISCOVERY SERVICE  SINGLE WINDOW TOOLS FOR SCHOLARLY  INFORMATION 
INTRODUCTION 
A discovery service is a search interface to pre-indexed meta data and/or full text documents. Discovery services differ from federated search applications in that discovery services don’t search live sources. By searching pre-indexed data discovery services return search results very quickly. Discovery services are touted as an evolution beyond federated search and in some ways they are. Some discovery services either provide integration with federated search .What is new about the recently introduced discovery services is the focus on integration with other content, typically the library’s OPAC.


Cited Reference Searching: Track prior research and monitor current developments, see who is citing your work, measure the influence of colleagues' work, and follow the path of today's hottest ideas. Navigate forward, backward and through the journals and proceedings literature, searching all disciplines and time spans to discover information with impact.
Easy Author Identification: Locate articles written by the same authors in a simple, single search. Find the right author, right away — eliminating the problems of similar author names or several authors with the same name
nsightful Analysis Options: Find hidden trends and patterns, gain insight into emerging fields of research, and identify leading researchers, institutions, and journals with the Analyze Tool. You can also capture citation activity with Citation Report, instantly creating formatted reports to view vital citation information for individuals or institutions. Citation Maps make it easy to visualize citation connections and discover an article's citation relationships
Find high-impact articles and conference proceedings.Uncover relevant results in related fields.

• Discover emerging trends that help you pursue successful research and grant acquisition.
• Identify potential collaborators with significant citation records.
• Integrate searching, writing, and bibliography creation into one streamlined process.
• Everything the researcher needs in one place – , DS offers a single interface for discovery of a library’s entire collection and the powerful features to heighten the research experience.  
• Full-text searching – DS offers access to metadata for full-text content, which in turn will yield the most accurate search results.

  8-TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES WORK DISCOVERY SERVICE.

  1-Z39.50: Z39.50  It is a
  protocol which specifies data structures and interchange rules that allow a client machine to
  search databases on a server machine and retrieve records that are identified as a result of
  such a search.
  2-OpenURL  is a versatile linking scheme that uses metadata (instead of an object
  identifier such as DOI) for generating dynamic link by passing metadata about a resource to a
  resolver program. It consists of two components, i.e. the URL of OpenURL resolver followed by a
  description of the information object consisting of a set of metadata elements (e.g. author, journal
  issue no., volume, year, etc.).
  
  3-OAI-PMH:
   Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) provides a mechanism
  for repository interoperability. Using OAI-PMH, the service providers can make request to the
  repositories to harvest metadata. This is mostly used by the repositories and some e-journals
  providers also expose their content using it.
  4-CASSIR
  This service is a part of the project "Development of OAI-Based Institutional Research Repository Services in India", sponsored byDepartment of Scientific & Industrial Research, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India. This project is being carried out at National Centre for Science Information (NCSI), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. The service will harvest metadata as per the OAI-PMH protocol from the registered OA respositores in India. It also provides a web-based search/browse functionality over the harvested metadata.
  5-CrossRef’s
   mandate is to connect users to primary research content, by enabling publishers to work collectively. CrossRef is also the official DOI link registration agency for scholarly and professional publications. Our citation-linking network today covers tens of millions of articles and other content items from thousands of scholarly and professional publishers.

  What to consider while choosing for such service.
  Librarians have been examining these new discovery tools carefully, but comparisons have been frustrating because these products are new and enhancements are ongoing. Nonetheless, librarians have narrowed in on certain features and capabilities that are key to making decisions about these tools. Naturally, different institutions weigh each factor differently based on local needs and objectives, collections, users, and staffing. Leading factors are:

  CONTENT
  • Scope and depth of content being indexed.

  • Richness (and consistency) of metadata included in the indexes.

  • Frequency of content updates.

  • Ease of incorporating local content, if desired.

  SEARCH
  • Simplicity of the interface.

  • Quality of results, including relevance ranking.

  • Ability to customize search and relevance settings.

  • Availability of tools for navigating search results (such as clustering, facets, etc.).

  • Ease of incorporation into existing institutional access tools.

  • Support for new use environments, including mobile access and social-networking features.

  FIT
  • Ease of implementation.

  • Compatibility with existing software and content.

  • Responsiveness of the vendor and alignment of priorities regarding future developments.

  • Overall customer support, including reputation and prior dealings with the vendor.

  COST
  • As a new service in addition to existing tools.

  • Instead of other finding tools or delays to other upgrades.

  • Justification in light of libraries’ goals and objectiv
