Abstract


In distance learning and online education environment libraries needs to provide the right information on a single platformto its users from all resources or databases available in the library in aminimum of time. A library portal is single-user interface for accessing a wide variety of electronic resources, both within and outside the library. A few federated search engines like EBSCO Discovery service, Summon (web scale discovery service), Knimbus, Mendeley, FedGate, ABCD open source software, Google CSE etc are being used by libraries to give access to all subscribed or free online e-resources as well as library catalogues, archives' and other reading materials in the library to save the time of readers and give easy access to multiple databases and resources through federated search tool. In this article the author discussed about the selected commercial as well as open source discovery tools used in Indian Libraries and a case study of Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Ganeshkhind for using Google CSE for their library portal resources
