Discussion
Which of the following libraries are known for adopting web scale discovery services ?
(i) Library of Congress
(ii) Harvard University Library
(iii) Small Public Libraries
(iv) European Parliament Library
Answer: C
The answer is (i), (ii) (iv) are correct.
Web-scale discovery services such as Primo, Summon, EBSCO Discovery Service and WorldCat Discovery are subscription platforms that search a library's catalogue together with its licensed and open article-level content through one central index. They are taken up mainly by large national, research and institutional libraries with big licensed collections, which is why the key accepts the Library of Congress, Harvard University Library and the European Parliament Library.
Small public libraries rarely hold enough licensed content to justify such a service, so the key leaves out (iii) and every option containing it.
