Through the analysis of the University of Western Sydney’s (UWS) federated searching tool usage statistics, the paper aims to highlight potential issues for Libraries choosing to make federated searching, the preferred method for finding scholarly resources. The paper will reflect on the UWS experience and create an awareness of potential issues for future implementations of federated search products.

The University of Auckland Library has introduced a Unified Resource Discovery (URD) environment, but has discovered implementing the technology alone does not necessarily provide a complete solution. This paper identifies other constraints, including different business models and user behaviour for acceptance of new technology that can influence the outcome. It concludes by articulating the role the Library can play in facilitating alignment between business, users, and technology to achieve a URD environment that works.

Increasingly, libraries are viewed as irrelevant to the research process, leaving them vulnerable to being cut, both financially and from the mind of the end user. However, new ways of discovering content in library collections holds the promise of returning the researcher to the library. The author explores the impact of search technology including Discovery Layers (NGCs), Federated Search, and the emerging trend toward Web-Scale Discovery.
