Making Open Access Content Discoverable

"Finding the right journal content has always been hard work for scholars and librarians. The move from print to digital was supposed to make that easier—in theory. Data-at-your-fingertips should have meant less stack climbing, less poring over endless endnotes, and better overall results.

The reality is far different. Search technology, already in a fragmented state, has been further disrupted by the rise of Open Access (OA). Library information professionals agree. In a recent Library Journal survey, about 72% of all respondents cited OA article discoverability as a major concern."
