EBSCONET® ERM Essentials™ is a full featured e-resource management (ERM) system designed to handle all e-resources of the library regardless of vendor. ERM Essentials will allow you to manage data pertaining to all of your e-resources; for those resources acquired through EBSCO, much of this information can be pre-populated automatically from the data EBSCO is already collecting, saving time otherwise spent on manual data entry.
EBSCO Discovery Service™ (EDS) creates a unified, customized index of an institution’s information resources, and an easy, yet powerful means of accessing all of that content from a single search box. The ability to create these custom solutions is achieved by harvesting metadata from both internal (library) and external (database vendors) sources, and creating a pre-indexed service of unprecedented size and speed. Although the resulting collection is massive in size and scope, the fact that it is indexed directly on the EBSCOhost servers allows for exceptionally fast search response times, and the ability to leverage the familiar powerful features of the EBSCOhost user experience - across all resources.
