Capita, a UK-based provider of BPO and integrated professional support service solutions, and research database and discovery service provider, EBSCO Publishing, have announced a partnership to offer integrated access to extensive electronic resources within Capita’s existing library resource discovery solution, Prism and EBSCO Discovery Service. Users will now be able to search their library's comprehensive collection of electronic databases and physical library stock using a single search box.
The agreement will provide users with a uniquely powerful article search experience. Providing libraries with access to EBSCO's unified index and discovery service expands the quality and quantity of content available to current Prism users, with the addition of enhanced features and functionality.
Users will continue to enjoy the benefits of using a single interface to review their library account, reserve and renew books while also accessing EBSCO’s content, including magazines and journal articles, e-books and other e-content. Additionally, Prism can be customised to match the university branding to deliver a better, more consistent student experience. Institutions will be able to enjoy the benefits of surfacing their resources through a single search interface, enhancing and simplifying the discovery process for their students.
