EBSCO Information Service (EBSCO) continues to modernize publication discovery with the introduction of Full-Text Finder
(FTF). Available to all EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) customers with
their subscription, and as a stand-alone application to non-subscribers,
Full-Text Finder delivers the intuitive, time-saving experience when
searching for journals, e-books and articles, and managing the librarys
holdings.
Full-Text Finder features an integrated
workflow solution that includes a state-of-the-art publication search
service and vendor-neutral link resolver, along with a knowledge base
and streamlined Holdings and Link Management (HLM). A part of
EBSCOadmin, HLM allows library administrators to save time with
integrated auto-population of holdings; auto-complete to readily
identify and find resources; and a multitude of workflow enhancements.
FTF
is the culmination of extensive research and development to identify
library and end-user needs, understand user habits, and deliver a modern
experience to find journals and manage holdings. EBSCO built FTF from
the ground up as the natural progression of the EBSCO experience with
EBSCO A-to-Z and LinkSource, which have been the familiar publication
browse and link resolver respectively focused on journals and journal
content. The proliferation of more than a million eBooks and the growth
to thousands of journal packages and full-text databases required a new
approach to handle the massive volume of content while meeting the
expectations of todays users.
Seamless Discovery Integration - A single place for users to
conduct standard discovery as well as known-item citation lookup in a
seamless and integrated manner. Users no longer go to one place for A-Z
and another for discovery.- Responsive Auto-Complete - The
most advanced auto-complete technology in the industry. FTF anticipates
what a user is looking for, eliminates the need to navigate through an
antiquated alphabet directory, and does away with the endless
hunt-and-peck browsing to find a specific title. This makes FTF orders
of magnitude faster and more efficient for library users. - Publication-Targeted
Full Text Search - The ability for users to quickly and easily target
their search to the full text within a title. No other A -Z product in
the industry provides this functionality. - Discipline-Specific
Browse - A simplified subject browse with built-in searching,
eliminating the point at which most users traditionally give up when
trying to find titles related to a particular topic. - State-of-the-Art
Linking - Seamless integration of OpenURL linking and SmartLinks that
are guaranteed to get users directly to the full text without
traditional linker menus. - Faceting of Publication Search
Results - The ability for users to quickly narrow search results to only
those that are most relevant.
being released to existing customers of EBSCO A-to-Z and LinkSource in

period. To learn more about the benefits of Full-Text Finder, visit http://www.ebscohost.com/discovery.
