EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) has announced that South Africa's University of Johannesburg has implemented EBSCO Discovery Service™ (EDS) via Encore Duet, Innovative's discovery solution. The university chose EDS for a simplified and streamlined search and for the relevant results found in EDS searches.
The university was pleased with the ease of implementation and EBSCO's customer support. Librarians at the University of Johannesburg were also impressed with EBSCO's commitment to work with publishers in order to make more resources available in EBSCO Discovery Service. According to Janina van der Westhuizen, a librarian at the university, the university expects 100 percent of its databases to become searchable in EDS. Also, with this discovery implementation, many of the university's leading e-journal publisher packages will be easily accessible in the EDS results list through EBSCO’s linking technology.
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.
