Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, has announced that the Özyeğin University in Turkey has selected the EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) as its new generation search tool. The library saw a need to provide a seamless and easy way to navigate its electronic resources. EBSCO Publishing's discovery service fit that need precisely.
Özyeğin University was ready to take advantage of new generation search tools and wanted to maximise the usage of its collections to support the university's learning, teaching and research activities. EDS delivers a single interface for discovery of a library's entire collection and powerful features to heighten user's research experience providing them with everything they need in one place.
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 Base Index for EBSCO Discovery Service 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 catalogue, institutional repositories, EBSCOhost and other databases, and additional content sources to which it subscribes. It is this combination that allows a single, comprehensive, custom solution for discovering the value of any library's collection.
The EDS Base Index comprises 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.
