EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has announced that its EBSCO Discovery Service™ (EDS) is now being used by more universities and academic institutions in Russia and Belarus. To date, 25 institutions have chosen EDS as their discovery solution.
Among the institutions that have implemented EDS in these two countries, the Central Scientific Library UB Russian Academy of Science and the Russian State Library are two of the most prominent. Full-text linking capabilities, EDS's simple point of access to all library resources, and an interface in Russian were common factors impacting these sites' decision to implement EDS.
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.
