The  University  of  Nevada  Las  Vegas  Libraries’  focus on  the  concept  of  discovery  and  the  tools  and  processes that enable our users to find information began with an organizational review of the Libraries’ Technical Services Division.  This  article  outlines  the  phases  of  this  review  and  subsequent  planning  and  organizational  commitment to discovery. Using the theoretical lens of organizational learning, it highlights how the emerging focus on discovery has provided an impetus for genuine learning and change.
