Abstract

[Purpose/significance]The information resource discovery and delivery service has always been the core business of the library. Over the past 20 years, the collection and contents of academic libraries have changed. The resource discovery system has also evolved a lot under the impact of Google Scholar and other network platforms. From the super catalog and federated search in early stage to a more popular web-scale discovery service system at present, till now another new resource discovery system emerges which is called the hybrid Bento-style federated search service system.[Method/process] This article revealed the insufficiency of mixed sorting and the advantage of Bento display through comparing the development of discovery systems in academic libraries both at home and abroad. In the end, we illustrated the application and future trends of discovery systems by taking University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) Library as an example.[Result/conclusion] It is proven that the Bento pattern helps libraries to reform itself from full-resource discovery to full-library discovery. The search results and the usage rate of library resources are increasingly enhanced.
