Discovery and Delivery Solutions

With LYRASIS Discovery Service, a Software as a Service (SaaS), you get a hosted service at a low cost that’s easy to configure and data that is easily transferable. Your patrons get real-time search results for targeted eResources (library, non-library and special collection eContent) of your choosing.

Whether you are a single library or consortium, or a member of a library group or multiple consortia, LYRASIS Discovery Service (LDS) enables you to provide a single, unified search tool, leveraging technology from Index Data to make your patrons’ search experience as robust, seamless and easy-to-use as possible. Each contributor to your shared ILS can select the level of access their users have for search. And, with the added integration through Relais International products, patrons in a library group can make unmediated ILL requests across the shared ILS. Your library staff will spend less time managing and fulfilling these requests and have more time to focus on patrons thanks to automated and more efficient back-end processes.

LYRASIS Discovery Service:

The LYRASIS Discovery Service for Single-Site Libraries provides a single discovery interface to optimize the user’s ability to discover material in the library’s catalog and selected electronic resources, both subscription and freely available.
The LYRASIS Discovery Service for Multiple-Site Libraries is for groups of libraries or library consortia where there are multiple catalogs and/or layers of subscription and free databases to be managed amongst a group for optimization of discovery. Library groups can choose to add the real-time item status display and patron-initiated requesting feature from Relais International.

Relais International LDS-Related Services:

RELAIS ILL converts libraries’ ILL operations into a more streamlined, efficient service by automating the routine tasks, supporting unmediated services and fully integrating ILL with delivery of documents to the requester.
Relais Express converts paper documents to electronic format, or uses existing electronic documents, and delivers them to users or to other libraries.
The Relais Scanning Workstation is a completely integrated and ergonomically efficient work environment for scanning superior quality documents with Relais ILL and Relais Express.
Relais D2D seamlessly integrates the discovery experience with request management, circulation interoperability, and delivery irrespective of the multiple ILS used by the participating libraries within the consortium. D2D optimizes the user’s ability to discover items of interest in library catalogs and get immediate access to, or request delivery of, the material with minimal or no intervention by staff.
