<div dir="ltr">We were able to comparisons of EDS and Summon in 2011. That was early on in the evolution of discovery services. We had a trial of summons set up for us and got temporary credentials from another library that allowed us to search their version of EDS. There are few reports of these types of comparisons in the literature. Discovery is usually very customized for each institution. I think the best situation would be to get a trial of the one you do not currently use, or trials from both providers if you have neither of the ones you are evaluating.<div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Nunito;color:#366091;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Michael Ours</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Nunito;color:#366091;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Scholarly Communications & Digital Services Librarian</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Nunito;color:#366091;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Knight-Capron Library</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Nunito;color:#366091;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Lynchburg College</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Nunito;color:#366091;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">1501 Lakeside Dr., Lynchburg, VA 24501-3113</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Nunito;color:#366091;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">434/544-8206 FAX: 434/544-8499</span></p><p><span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Nunito;color:#366091;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><a href="mailto:ours.m@lynchburg.edu" target="_blank">ours.m@lynchburg.edu</a></span></p></div></div></div></div></div>
