Discovery Service

WHILE SOME DISCOvERY SERvICES provide broad coverage across a variety of subject areas, EBSCO Discovery Service™ (EDS) is designed to provide a broad and deep approach to discovery. This means that we go to great lengths to not only provide comprehensive coverage of each subject area (e.g., Psychology), but also the highly-refined and robust indexing needed to offer an appropriate resource for subject- specific research.

Unparalleled Depth of Indexing

EDS returns superior search results because of the depth of superior metadata available. Side-by-side searches with other discovery services prove that EDS provides more in-depth indexing for the clear majority of journals and magazines. Whether or not a library subscribes to an index on EBSCOhost, high-quality subject indexing (from controlled vocabularies) is always prevalent within EDS, and massive backfiles are included in many cases.

Access Critical Psychology Indexes through the Unique Platform Blending Solution

EBSCO has developed a unique Platform Blending technology, which infuses content from dozens of top subject indexes (to which a

With the ability to include dedicated psychology databases as well as metadata from thousands of relevant sources, EBSCO Discovery Service™
