Library resources provider EBSCO, US, has announced that Stockholm University in Sweden has selected EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) as its new custom discovery solution. The library wanted to provide more innovative services to its students and EDS provided them with the single interface they were looking for and the ability to navigate their searches through a native interface and an API.
The library at Stockholm University puts a strong focus on the delivery and quality of electronic resources for their students, so when looking for a discovery solution they launched a detailed analysis of many services. Ultimately, they wanted a reliable service that would help them promote and use more of their electronic resources now and also help the library grow in the future.
EDS API offers easy integration (with systems and for programmers), provides comprehensive documentation and support, and its straight-forward technology allows libraries to create a unique user interface experience. According to Anders Söderbäck Head of Publishing and e-Resource Management at Stockholm University, easy integration was an important factor when choosing a discovery service.
By integrating critical components of EDS API into Stockholm's library solution via EDS API, the students at Stockholm benefit from leading content and features including rich metadata, relevancy ranking, full-text linking, access to critical subject indexes, persistent links, custom links, facets, limiters and many other helpful features.
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.
