ONLINE ATTENDED Q&A: De-Duping the Discovery Process: Strategies for Reducing Ebook Title Duplication in Summon

This session will be available on-demand at the start of the conference.
During this timeslot, the authors will be on the Online Conference Platform to answer text-based Q&A.

Due to the acquisition of large ebook packages from vendors, many libraries' discovery layers produce search results that are filled with duplicate titles, confusing users and negatively impacting the discovery process. This presentation discusses methods for reducing this title duplication and improving the user experience of research and discovery.

Hi! I've been a cataloger for over 13 years in both public and academic libraries. I'm passionate about making our catalogs work for our patrons and while this may mean something different at each institution, I strongly believe the end product should be useful!
