Discovery to Delivery at EDINA and Mimas (D2D@E&M)

D2D@E&M is a JISC funded one year project being managed by EDINA and Mimas. The purpose of the project is to enhance the user experience with discovery services, firstly by improving interoperability between services, secondly by introducing personalisation possibilities for the services and thirdly by providing users with a series of options to move to final access and delivery services. The improved facilities will be available via a Scholarly Communications website. The key services involved are SUNCAT (EDINA), Copac (Mimas) and Zetoc (Mimas). The different aspects of the Project are being designed in the light of comments, feedback etc. from groups of actual and potential users, including researchers and library staff.

The project started on 1st August 2008 and is due to be completed on 31st July 2009.
