Abstract

This poster explores the Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library's steps to determine if a highly tailored version of EBSCO's Discovery Service (EDS) aimed at an academic health sciences audience will be an appealing and effective tool for searching the library's collections and to compare its use to that of the library's current federated search tool.
