Discovery-tjänst konfigurerad som ”totalsök” Tvärsnitt i materialet för (ämnes)specifika Discovery-portaler
Intelligent sökmotor
EDS is fully customised to each library’s collection and needs • Academically focused metadata – The EDS unified index adapts and grows with your library’s collection • Users can access academic focused features – Search history, personal folder, persistent links – Fully customizable advanced search alerts and RSS feeds • Customisation – Choice of search screens (single search box or advanced) – Skinning, branding and imported widgets (eg. Lib. Guides, Meebo) • Administration module – Usage statistics, linking and interface customisations
Why choose EBSCO Discovery Service? • Highly usable & familiar search interface (based on EBSCOhost) • More features and functionality (customisable) Better Searching • More sources from more content participants • More academic publisher content • More detailed and richer metadata (subject headings) Better Coverage • Ability to include and search many of the world’s most important subject indexes (eg. Psyc. INFO, Econ. Lit, INSPEC, CINAHL) • Delivery of more relevant results to the user (priority match on subject headings) Better Results
Weaknesses of other discovery solutions • Google centric / web search: – Too simplistic and lacks features that academic users require – Search and relevancy algorithm fails to leverage high quality metadata • Catalogue centric – Lacks coverage of journal and magazine articles (particularly academic publishers) resulting in over emphasis of book results over article results – Makes only a fraction of the library collection discoverable at the article level • News centric – High quality academic results are lost among millions of news articles
