The EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) from EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) is becoming the discovery solution of choice in Poland. To date, 25 universities and academic institutions in the country have chosen EDS as their discovery solution. Uniwersytet Warszawski, the biggest university in Poland, was the first university to implement EDS in 2011. Soon after, the technical universities Politechnika Wroclawska and Politechnika Lubelska and medical university, Gdanski Uniwersytet Medyczny implemented EDS and are among the longest users of EDS in Poland. Superior relevancy ranking and ease of implementation were common threads in the decision to utilise EDS as their discovery tool.
EDS employs a multi-faceted relevance ranking methodology that is the foundation of EBSCO's premier search and discovery platform. EBSCO is also very open on the relevance ranking formula. A Google search on 'relevance ranking' provides an explanation of EDS relevance priorities in the very first result.
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.
