2	AI/ Linked data	Ex Libris	AI and library ecosystem	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLf5a3rOpg4	Ex Libris is working with a focus group of several academic libraries cataloging open source Sinopia in linked data open source Bibframe formats, sending records into Alma for management and using Primo for discovery. This presentation provides a demo of a linked data discovery expereince with AI features, such as auto-complete, and offers thoughts on the future of linked data and AI together.
3	Discovery outside of library environment	Durham County, Meredith College	Integration into Google search results	https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=559959589&rlz=1C5GCEM_en&q=Tinker+Tailor+Soldier+Spy+John+Le+Carr%C3%A9&si=ACFMAn-RuLols7Cpmmm1c63YqwDqHg5PF1YUOfiWr1Cm6F7c5gFBeiEJ36GUH5yN18K_ibQSzD0MHlp-CgGWlKl1Z6wbMyJj92bRLuWQIs-7SeSDoiePC1-mEr_Oc7lEcOYjwRNzA8z56fmGP8uaP6v7pQ6Urw7EHDJ4IhTqpLp1-olmWRoIzGi8ewsOIk2ddPLgKfvcRo210xoCbcR0FLW5gdJLHBf4cw%3D%3D&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi4qqeLifiAAxW9nGoFHb2eBMkQ3LoBegQICBAB&biw=1573&bih=1330&dpr=1	See library borrowing options in Google's knowledge graph. EBSCO offers a new product called Bibliograph that does this, but it is unclear what these particular libraries are using. This may be problematic to integrate for academic libraries, since not everyone can use their libraries.
4	Discovery outside of library environment	University of East Anglia	Sage Lean Library	https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a4PFXPP-nsrGAeYHFplEuEZ945MPl27A/view?usp=drive_link	I saw this presentation at ER&L about a browser extension tool that provides information about a library access. Not much published info available, so I pulled a screenshot from the presentation.
5	Discovery outside of library environment	Michigan	Libkey	https://search.lib.umich.edu/articles	Michigan recently launched LibKey Discovery in their local article discovery layer, in addition to the links generated via Primo's APIs. This is a new update so they are still exploring how usage of the LibKey and Primo links compares.
6	Discovery outside of library environment	SUNY Albany	LibKey		This isn't new, but SUNY Albany recently licensed LibKey. In theory, the browser plugin LibKey Nomad will be deployed campus-wide which will help a lot of folks. Third Iron is also in the later stages of developing an enhanced plugin (Nomad++?) that will be even more slick (and more expensive).
7	Linked data	U of Wisconsin	Coordinanted discovery	https://search.library.wisc.edu/	We call it "coordinated discovery" under the hood, with the idea that all our resources (catalog, digital collections, journal subscriptions, databases, finding aids, etc.) are discoverable from a single common interface. We're slowly but surely inking resources together, so that a search in one part of our collections will also provide you with links to similar or the same resource in other parts of our collections. Our digital collections use Fedora 3 under the hood, which relies heavily on linked data to model and link resources. We've also done some experimenting with linked data in our catalog records in the past, using BIBFRAME + wikidata to expand the information in our catalog records. Under the hood we use disparate systems: Alma for catalog records, Primo for Journal articles, Blacklight and our own tools for databases and digital collections, among others. We also provide a common interface for requesting discoverable items through ILL (and, in the future, we'll be linking to Aeon to schedule appointments to view our archival and special collections resources).
8	Linked data	U of Wisconsin	Museum exhibit archives	https://search.library.wisc.edu/digital/AChazArchive	Here's an example of a new kind of resource we've incorporated into our digital collections, with links to other resources on campus: museum exhibit archives. This work came out of a Mellon grant we received with the Chazen Museum of Art to bring art museum resources under the umbrella of library search-and-discovery.
9	Linked data	Digital Scriptorium	Linked data in Blacklight	https://search.digital-scriptorium.org/catalog/DS333	National union catalog of medieval and early modern manuscripts in US collections built on Linked Open Data principles and practices in Blacklight.
10	Linked data	Cornell University	Linked data in catalog	https://www.library.cornell.edu/about/news/librarys-linked-data-project-gets-new-grant/	News update - https://www.library.cornell.edu/about/news/librarys-linked-data-project-gets-new-grant/ Presentation info - https://ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/66723
11	Linked data	LD4P	Linked data projects	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5EtrQx-S6c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unAMoqloNnc
12	Linked data	RPI	EBSCO Bibliograph	https://rpi.library.link/	A new EBSCO product that creates linked data and provides data to Google. Data can be used with other tools such as GraphDb.
13	Usability and design	Smith College	Customizable bento box	https://www.smith.edu/libraries/discover/search.php?fieldcode=&query=disability+studies	It's a customizable bento box, so you can, for instance, delete the Books box and add a JSTOR box. The URL updates when you do that, too, so you can bookmark/send a specific search setup More about the project: https://libraries.smith.edu/news/2019/03/rob-o%E2%80%99connell-talks-%E2%80%9Cbeyond-bento%E2%80%9D
14	Usability and design	Michigan	Locally created discovery layer	https://search.lib.umich.edu/everything?query=urban+planning	Some interesting features that would be worth looking through. it has a unified design and allows user to look at different resources without leaving the search application.
15	Usability and design	Michigan State	EDS-Blacklight integration	https://catalog.lib.msu.edu/Combined/Results?lookfor=%27red+panda%27&type=All+Fields	They are pulling article results from EDS (EBSCO Discovery Service-- EBSCO's version of Summon) directly into their own UI and showing alongside catalog.
16	Usability and design/Linked data	Wellcome Collection	ETL process to create a single catalog of mixed materials	https://github.com/wellcomecollection
17	Usability and design	Grand Valley State	"Locate" catalog for physical materials	https://gvsu.locate.ebsco.com/instances/8940982f-5d04-4e04-8445-c4bd267941f6?option=keyword&query=tinker+tailor	From an ER&L presentation. They found that patrons had trouble finding physical materials in EDS with so many articles in the mix. They built a new catalog just for physical materials, ebooks, and streaming media. This catalog focuses on known item searching and allows searching without login.
18	Usability and design	University of Technology Sydney	Library Spectrogram	https://mechanicaldolphin.com/2019/11/18/can-you-dig-through-spaghetti-to-save-a-ribbon-utslibrary/	A clickable "ribbon" of call numbers designed by an artist. Very cool visualization but was never actually implemented.
