Key points Working with library discovery services can improve end user experience, increase usage, and help sales. Methodologies developed for working with discovery tools can be applied to other discovery channels, such as search engines and abstract and indexing (A&I) databases. Publishers need to focus on data quality, workflows, and complying with industry standards. Publisher collaboration with vendors will impact a large number of libraries and end users.
