[Eril-l] Requesting info on EBSCO Discovery Service and/or OCLC Worldshare

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Erin,

I would gladly have a call with you to discuss.

We currently use Discovery, and I've previously worked with Primo, so I have the most to say about these systems. I can also provide some commentary on OCLC's systems, as their discovery layer has been the subject of some of my recent research, which has focused on discovery layers that can be used with FOLIO.

I am on vacation from Monday 7/17 to Friday 7/28, and am widely available when I'm back.

Good afternoon, collective wisdom.
A colleague and I are investigating the differences among discovery layers and library service providers.  We are both familiar with and use Ex Libris' Alma and Primo products, but are interested in learning more about how EBSCO and OCLC's products operate similarly or differently.  Essentially, we are hoping to gain a basic understanding of the e-resources management structure of these systems.
Library folks who work with EBSCO Discovery Service or OCLC Worldshare (or both), would you be willing to join us for a brief web call?  We will share specific questions ahead of time and will only take up to 30 minutes of your time, and will be flexible as to what scheduling works best for you.
Thanks in advance for your consideration!
Erin
