Why choose EBSCO Discovery Service? Highly usable & familiar search interface (based on EBSCOhost) Better Searching More features and functionality (customisable) More sources from more content participants Better Coverage More academic publisher content More detailed and richer metadata (subject headings) Ability to include and search many of the world’s most important subject indexes (eg. PsycINFO, EconLit, INSPEC, CINAHL) Delivery of more relevant results to the user (priority match on subject headings) Better Results
40
Weaknesses of other discovery solutions Google centric / web search: –Too simplistic and lacks features that academic users require –Search and relevancy algorithm fails to leverage high quality metadata Catalogue centric –Lacks coverage of journal and magazine articles (particularly academic publishers) resulting in over emphasis of book results over article results –Makes only a fraction of the library collection discoverable at the article level News centric –High quality academic results are lost among millions of news articles
