Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, and ABC-CLIO have developed a new partnership allowing content from ABC-CLIO eBooks to be accessible within EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS). Mutual customers of EDS and ABC-CLIO's eBook Collection will now be able to take advantage of a more robust user experience by conducting their searches via the single search box of EDS.
ABC-CLIO's eBook Collection offers more than 6,000 authoritative, scholarly titles from imprints including ABC-CLIO, Greenwood, Praeger, Libraries Unlimited, and Linworth. Titles cover an array of subjects such as American History, Current Events & Issues, Education, Health & Medicine, Multicultural & Gender Studies, Politics & Government, Science Technology & Environment and much more. New titles are uploaded monthly. Additional data elements from ABC-CLIO are expected to become accessible within EDS in the near future.
ABC-CLIO joins a long list of publishers and other content partners taking part in EDS to bring more visibility to their content. These include the British Library, Baker & Taylor, NewsBank, Readex, LexisNexis, Alexander Street Press, Web of Science (for mutual customers) H.W. Wilson, Oxford University Press, American Psychological Association and many others.
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. The EDS Base Index forms the foundation upon which each EDS subscribing library builds out its custom collection. Beginning with the Base Index, each institution extends the reach of EDS by adding appropriate resources including its catalog, institutional repositories, EBSCOhost and other databases, and additional content sources to which it subscribes.
The EDS Base Index is comprised of metadata from the world's foremost information providers. At present, the EDS Base Index represents content from approximately 20,000 providers in addition to metadata from another 70,000 book publishers.
