  #   User Experience

### Backed by User Research

Understanding what a user needs and wants is the first step to successful research. EBSCO Discovery Service includes features and technology built on user research to help users get exactly what they’re looking for.

### One Interface

Journals, magazines, newspapers, books, databases and more can all be integrated into the EDS, offering employees access to all your e-resources from one search interface.



 



###   Did-You-Mean, Autocomplete and Autocorrect

EDS automatically offers suggestions and corrections to users’ search terms, decreasing false results and errors.
