EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has announced that member libraries in the SEALS Consortium, located in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, have selected EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) via Innovative's Encore Duet. The SEALS Consortium includes Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, University of Fort Hare, Walter Sisulu University and Rhodes University.
Library staff at the member libraries evaluated other discovery services and they determined that EDS via Encore Duet provided everything they were looking for in a discovery platform.
EBSCO’s expanded partnership with Innovative is a great example of EBSCO's increasing experience integrating with third-party services to benefit customers. EBSCO and Innovative came together to develop solutions that leverage their strengths and, most importantly, serve the needs of their customers.
EBSCO Discovery Service creates a unified, customised index of an institution's information resources, and an easy, yet powerful means of accessing all of that content from a single search box-searching made even more powerful because of the quality of its relevance and value ranking technology.
