EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has announced that the Southern Adventist University in Tennessee has selected EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) as its discovery service. Southern Adventist University was recently ranked in the top 30 Best Colleges by U.S. News and World Report for Regional Colleges in the South.
The library’s evaluation found EBSCO Discovery Service had many key features that were important to the university. According to Stan Cottrell II, Technical Services Librarian, EBSCO was selected due to real time availability checking linked into their catalogue, tight integration with Illiad [document delivery service] and the high success rate of accurate article retrieval via their link resolver. With these features, librarians at Southern Adventist University expect EDS to improve access to full-text resources and increase the exposure of both print and electronic materials to library users.
The university started to implement EDS a few months ago and Cottrell says the set-up process has gone smoothly.
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.
