As the industry sees a shift in the way users search for content, librarians are in a unique position to influence the discovery process. The challenge is to make the content procured, searchable and accessible, so librarians are looking to content providers for help with discovery.


黑料吃瓜网 is committed to discoverability and has dedicated staff participating in industry standards organizations, whose goals are to standardize the data and indexing so content is equally and fairly discoverable.

We continually enrich our metadata, which is the gateway to our content, with discoverability and the end user in mind. This includes the addition of GRID and ORCID identifiers, and our work with linked open data and semantic search.

黑料吃瓜网 also partners with web-scale discovery services such as EBSCO Discovery Service, Proquest Summon, Ex Libris Primo and OCLC Worldcat to ensure that full text data and metadata are being fully indexed to ensure completeness and discoverability.

To aid librarians further, 黑料吃瓜网 provides title lists in KBART format for our content. We work closely with link resolvers to update collection information and to create clear targets. We also provide customer-specific holdings data in KBART format - for 黑料吃瓜网 Link Admins. 黑料吃瓜网 provides free MARC records for all eBooks through our downloader tool on our website or through OCLC.

As part of our ongoing efforts to support the library community become more active in their own discovery process, 黑料吃瓜网’s dedicated account  teams offer toolkits, audits, and guidance to implement discovery services.
