Jinfo Report

Abstract

This report covers the products we consider to be the "big four" discovery services:

  • EBSCO Discovery Service
  • Ex Libris Primo
  • ProQuest Summon
  • WorldCat Discovery from OCLC.

We provide a brief description of each source, a link to the homepage and product page, and links to Jinfo coverage. We also cover the audience, describe the central index and index content holdings, and highlight vendors' claims to uniqueness.

Scott Vine's article "Discovering Discovery Services" accompanies this market landscape and the article "Case Studies - Selecting a Discovery Solution" featuring EBSCO and Primo will also be of interest.
