Migrating to Full Text Finder: A Case Study
Abstract
University Libraries at The University of Alabama implemented EBSCO’s Discovery Service (EDS) in 2011. This integration added to the use of EBSCO as our serials vendor and provider for usage data. In August 2017, University Libraries migrated to EBSCO’s Full Text Finder from a competing system. Consolidation of these tools under one vendor improved integration and functionality for all of the electronic resources holdings and access management. Following the successful migration to Full Text Finder, the oversight of EBSCO’s Discovery System management was assigned to staff responsible for electronic resources allowing for the benefits of having administrative control of both Full Text Finder and EBSCO’s Discovery System under one manager. The following presents the experience of moving to Full Text Finder.
