Discovery and access are critical to driving usage to licensed content. Following discovery-related industry standards and collaborating with library solutions partners are instrumental parts of improving discovery. Wiley maintains its commitment to the seamless integration of published content into local systems, in order to promote library sanctioned discovery. Please see the information below, which outlines the extent of Wiley's discovery practices and partnerships with library solutions vendors.
Web-scale discovery services (or discovery layers) are tools that search across institutional collections and provide relevance-ranked results. They are used in libraries around the world to help augment licensed content discovery and provide multiple entrance points to users. To create a less complicated experience for library workflows and user searches, Wiley has partnered with various discovery vendors for the benefit of our mutual customers.
Below is a table which explains the extent to which Wiley content is indexed with these discovery vendors:

Wiley is an active NISO member and has gone to considerable lengths to comply with the Open Discovery Initiative (ODI). ODI conformance is an industry-wide discovery practice, which helps provide transparency and allows libraries to assess how content providers share their product level information. It is also a technical recommendation for metadata exchange such as data formats, methods of delivery, usage reporting, and frequency of updates.
