Digital Discovery Tools

The SLU Libraries has recently deployed Encore, a search engine designed to help library patrons "discover" digital and print resources in the SLU libraries and beyond. Unlike ODYsseus, our traditional library catalog, Encore development focuses on features that allow patrons to search various digital collections. As part of an ongoing evaluation of Encore, we are considering alternative tools.
