description

The House of Commons Library and the House of Lords Library are seeking to procure a Library Discovery Service or Federated Searching Solution to search and access their subscription services for initial 3 years with option to extend for further 2 x 12 months. The two Libraries are distinct and separate organisations, each with its own user base. The two Libraries coordinate their collections to maximise taxpayer's value for money. The Authority's Libraries require a search tool that allows users to search across print and online content in a location with ability to access subscribed contents or be signposted directly.

The Authority's Library is interested in a solution with the following but not limited to these functionalities:

·Indexing of the Commons Library local collections (library catalogue), consisting of around 230,000 titles.
·Access to a central index (or equivalent federated searching index coverage) where electronic and print journals (around 165 subscribed journal titles plus others contained in a small number of subscription databases) can be searched at article level.

Further details can be found in the Statement of Requirement on our InTend eSourcing portal.
