Response time was great. I would have liked to have seen a Public Administration and Urban Studies subject discipline, but that's a minor quibble. It was nice to see the Library & Information Science subject discipline though. With so many links to information in a number of resources, it really puts the "discover" in discovery services. It's a good product! http://www.lib.odu.edu/blogs/index.php/2013/03/07/the-ebsco-discovery-service-eds?blog=8#c216 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:31:07 +0000 Rob Tench [Visitor] c215@http://www.lib.odu.edu/blogs/ I think students will value the google-like search behavior and features of this database. They will also like the many ways that searches can be refined. It's also easy to find the full-text article by clicking on Article Linker). Researchers will appreciate the option of saving citations to endnote. I don't know how this compares to similar citation products, but Irate this database very highly. http://www.lib.odu.edu/blogs/index.php/2013/04/30/data-citation-index-04-30?blog=8#c215 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:06:05 +0000 Amin Dharamsi [Visitor] c211@http://www.lib.odu.edu/blogs/ I have not had a chance to evaluate this service, but if it provides a single entry point to a wide array of references - and if we do not currently have any other equivalent service - then I believe it would be worth subscribing to the service. http://www.lib.odu.edu/blogs/index.php/2013/03/07/the-ebsco-discovery-service-eds?blog=8#c211
