AbstractPhil Wilkin runs the Archive of European Integration (AEI), University Library System, University of Pittsburgh, an online repository and archive for research materials on the topic of European integration. The AEI uploads both privately-produced papers and official European Union (EU) documents, which are freely available to all. Because the EU is a treaty- and law-driven organisation, a small percentage of the privately-produced papers and many of the official EU documents on the AEI are relevant to EU law, primarily in the areas of the implementation of EU law in policy and administrative areas and the work of the court system.

Implementing Web-scale discovery at the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s (UNO) Criss Library presented some unexpected challenges. The UNO library selected Encore Synergy from Innovative Interfaces, Vendor homogeneity between Innovative Interfaces’ Integrated Library System (ILS), and the discovery tool did not prevent problems regarding ILS module interoperability. This chapter describes the solutions found. Web-scale discovery via Encore also did not include all of the library’s electronic resources, but only a few aggregator databases. A representative sample of approximately thirty resources, however, was accessible via pass-through search from Encore to Innovative’s federated search tool, Research Pro. An initial examination of database usage indicates a decline in the use of databases not directly searchable in Encore.
