Abstract

This study aims to find out EBSCO’s content discoverability rate by Ex Libris’ Central Discovery Index (CDI), under the circumstance that Ex Libris/ProQuest and EBSCO do not share index data with each other. In early 2022, 512 random sample articles were collected from two EBSCO databases, Academic Search Complete and CINAHL. They were searched in Primo by title. 492 (96.09%) EBSCO samples can be found in Primo. Most of the 20 (3.91%) samples not available in Primo are non-journal and non-English items. The uncooperativeness between Ex Libris/ProQuest and EBSCO no longer seems to be a big factor for each other’s discovery service to discover and link to the items in the other party’s electronic collections.

摘要

本研究旨在在 Ex Libris/ProQuest 与 EBSCO 不共享索引数据的情况下，通过 Ex Libris 的中央发现索引 (CDI) 找出 EBSCO 的内容可发现率。2022 年初，从两个 EBSCO 数据库Academic Search Complete和CINAHL中收集了 512 篇随机样本文章。他们在 Primo 中按标题搜索。在 Primo 中可以找到 492 (96.09%) 个 EBSCO 样本。Primo 中不可用的 20 个 (3.91%) 样本中的大多数是非期刊和非英语项目。Ex Libris/ProQuest 和 EBSCO 之间的不合作似乎不再是彼此发现服务发现并链接到对方电子馆藏中的项目的重要因素。
