<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I saw at a conference an attempt at such a comparison but found it worthless because, as others have noted, some discovery services, especially EBSCO's, is very highly customizable as to content
as well as even some relevance features, and the particular study I saw presented made vastly different judgments than we do about the content. We're a "everything plus the kitchen sink" type of profile for our main profile, and they were a "locked down to
only what content we have licensed" and that makes a huge difference. Also EBSCO's discovery service is tightly integrated with EBSCO subscriptions in terms of full text linkages, as well as EBSCOhost databases for content, so you have a totally different
search experience if you use someone else as your main database platform for third party databases like PsycINFO (eg Gale or Proquest) or someone else as your subscription agent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
