Meet Them Where They Search: Strategic OA Placement
From homepages and catalog searches to email links and AI chatbots, patrons pass through the same few digital doorways every day — and most of those doorways lead somewhere other than the open, vetted material that would have answered the question. What is behind each of those doorways right now, and what would it take to put a better answer there?
Learn more in this month’s OA Master Class for Public Libraries, where we’ll discuss how open access and open educational resources—which now cover health and legal questions, homework help, and test prep—can provide users with answers that are as credible as they are easy to find.
In this 30-minute session, you'll:
- Examine what AI-first searching means for the discovery paths you have already built
- Discover how to audit your library's highest-traffic touchpoints, and why the ones that move the most patrons are rarely the ones you would expect
- Learn how a single well-placed prompt at the point of AI anxiety can redirect a search
- Explore how CloudSource OA connects patrons to more than 95 million vetted open access and open educational resources in one click, with no authentication barriers
Open access only helps the people who can find it. Let us show you how CloudSource OA can help your library put trustworthy answers directly in the path your patrons are already taking. Register today.
