Focus Group – new library catalog and discovery platform coming in September Some of you may be familiar with TIND<https://caltech.tind.io/>, our library catalog you can use to look up items (esp books and ebooks) in our library collection. We’re getting ready to launch a new catalog and discovery platform, FOLIO / EDS<https://www.library.caltech.edu/folio-announcement>, this September. We’d like to invite you to join Caltech Library staff for a focus group about our search and discovery tools on Tuesday July 13, 11AM-12:30PM. Your feedback will help inform the configuration of FOLIO / EDS. You’ll have the opportunity to share how your specific information needs are being met in the library’s existing search and discovery interfaces like the library catalog as well as help identify areas where we can make improvements to our new platform. Participants will receive a $20 gift card to Bookshop.org where purchases support a local bookstore of your choosing. Please let us know you’re interested by completing the EDS Focus Group form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScE5fIig6nO6WX6xmTiEaHDUCRFcdQlrInZXt1Y7-qFoWovHA/viewform?usp=sf_link>.
