\n\tSince 2009, the MU Libraries’ have provided access to Summon (the default Search & Find box on the gateway).\n<\/p>\n
\n\tWith the subscription to Summon ending in the early fall, LMT appointed a small group to review current discovery tools, gather information and make a recommendation.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tOur review process consisted of:\n<\/p>\n
\n\tBased on the information gathered, we recommended to LMT that the MU Libraries not renew the Summon subscription and move forward with the Ebsco Discovery Service (EDS). EDS utilizes the Ebsco platform, which is very familiar to many students (given the MORENet Ebsco subscriptions provided to Missouri public schools), it is more intuitive than others and allows integration of our LibGuides and E-Reserves within the search results. In addition, there is a significant cost savings in moving to Ebsco.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tLMT accepted our recommendation and we are moving forward with the implementation of EDS. We are targeting a go live date of the first week of August.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tWe will keep you updated on the process.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tOur thanks to all who assisted us in this process – by providing feedback to the surveys\/product demonstrations and conducting usability testing!\n<\/p>\n
