A301 – Improving Search & Discovery of Digital Content

Wednesday, April 9, 2014
10:30 AM – 11:15 AM
, Digital Resources Librarian, IT & Web Services, Douglas County Libraries

In 2013, Douglas County Libraries (DCL) won a grant to do a statewide ebook pilot project in Colorado. While publishers refused to sell ebooks to libraries, and patrons looked for content to put on their nooks and iPads, the library created a new way to satisfy this demand. DCL signed contracts with dozens of publishers, created in-browser ebook readers, enabled social networking with Facebook apps, and installed an Adobe Content Server to encode digital rights management and circulate titles. Together with implementing a recommendation engine in the catalog and installing digital touchscreen power walls in its branches, DLC is constantly seeking new ways to attract and engage users.
