All EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) results should now display the database they originated from. <\/p>\n
At the end of 2013, a number of databases (Academic Search products notable among them) were merged into the central EDS index. When a result in EDS originated from this central index, the database name would not display in that result’s metadata. <\/p>\n
EBSCO’s stated reason for doing this was to improve performance and simplify de-duplication. This change didn’t prove to be popular, though, and in response to customer feedback, EBSCO has found a way to display all database names without compromising performance. <\/p>\n
Occasionally, the metadata that will now display in the Database or Content Provider field may refer to a potentially unfamiliar resource — specifically, the Complementary Index, Supplementary Index or eBook Index. These indices are not accessible outside of EDS \/ Scout. EBSCO has a support article<\/a> explaining what each of these indices includes. (Note: You will not see the Academic Search Index or Business Source Index listed in that link, since we pay for Academic Search Premier and Business Source Complete.) <\/p>\n If you have questions about this change, please don’t hesitate to comment below or to email me<\/a> directly. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll pass the question along to EBSCO support. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) results should now display the database they originated from.
