[Eril-l] Full Text Finder?

[Robert Battenfeld]

All,

Thank you for this discussion.  We are scheduled to migrate within a month or so.  The last time I asked Ebsco, the Overlap Analysis function was still in development in Full Text Finder.  Is it available yet?

We are EDS customers who were not previously using EBSCO's A-to-Z/Linksource service so our "migration" was very easy compared to those who had actual data in the old system.

The new system is wonderful.

Be sure to ask for the actual "A to Z' alpha list of letters to click on, because that's an optional widget, or at least it was when we started with Publication Finder.

Also note that there is an option in eadmin that is off by default to expand the "holdings" lists in Publication Finder immediately instead of your having to click on the + to open each one. This will make sense when you see it, but I recommend you make a note to consider that option, which is otherwise well buried in eadmin.

Simmons also transitioned to Full-text finder this fall.  The new product is much better.
Our migration was a bit more than rocky and that is putting it nicely.

Hi there,

Full Text Finder is replacing A-Z. I just transitioned our library to it this week. We are very happy with the new product! It is much more dynamic.

Hi all,
I'm currently working in reference and am somewhat out of the loop with up-to-the-minute electronic resources happenings. Our EDS admin says that EBSCO's A-Z list is coming to an end and we are transitioning to Full Text Finder tomorrow.
Is EBSCO's A-Z list is no longer available or being phased out?

-Sarah
