ONE-STOP ACCESS POINT TO LIBRARY RESOURCES: IN SEARCH OF REALIZATION

Abstract

The problem of organizing on library site a united interface to search all the resources library provides for its users is considered. It is demonstrated, that patrons of a modern library often have to use several interfaces to search for traditional print resources, for items of its own digital library and for a number of licensed resources on their own platforms.The problem of organizing on library site a united interface to search all the resources library provides for its users is considered. It is demonstrated, that patrons of a modern library often have to use several interfaces to search for traditional print resources, for items of its own digital library and for a number of licensed resources on their own platforms.The problem of including local publishers resources in global discovery index is stressed as well as inability to tune knowledge base on open access articles level in hybrid journals. The main conclusion is: Russian research libraries, which provide access to dozens of licensed resource collections of international and foreign content providers, should use global discovery services to fulfill their mission.
