      ab: Purpose -- The purpose of this paper is to analyse the paradigm shift of library automation to resource discovery by exploring the applications of resource discovery. The present status of India on adapting resource discovery applications is discussed. Design/methodology/approach -- An evaluative method to examine the status quo of India automation and resource discovery scenario is drawn with a related literature review. Moreover, various pertinent global challenges of embracing discovery tools in the digital environment are highlighted. Findings -- The growth of the Indian library automation industry is booming. However, library software adaptation, next-generation catalogue enhancements and community development avenues are dearth, seemingly remote and far from satisfactory. Originality/value -- The paper focuses on the emerging scenario of resource discovery applications with an overview of global challenges.
