EBSCOhost Unveils Discovery Service

摘要

As many in the industry predicted, it was only a matter of time until EBSCOhost got in on the discovery game: on April 10, the company announced EBSCO-host Discovery Service, to be made available by the end of 2009 as a component of its Integrated Search platform. This follows the recent announcement of a federated search option available to libraries that subscribe to EBSCOhost databases. However, unlike federated search that relies on limited access to remote resources via connectors, the Discovery Service product will rely on pre-indexed content and metadata.
