From Discovery to Delivery
EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) allows patrons to search a library’s catalog in the same interface as many of its electronic resources, such as electronic journals and ebooks. We will discuss the factors that led to LSU Libraries deciding to use EDS as the primary gateway to their collection. Topics will include data migration issues, linking full-text databases, troubleshooting techniques and customization tips.
Speakers: Mike Waugh, LSU Libraries and Lisa Stigall, LOUIS
