My library uses EBSCO Discovery service, and we have both EBSCO's ebook collections and Ebook Central collections. Ebook Central listings are included in Discovery.</div>

We've noticed that EBSCO ebook results have a clear link for full text under the Access Options menu, usually EPUB. When an eBook Central result appears in Discovery there is just a More Information box that takes place of the Access Options box.</div>

The More Information box does link to the title in EBook Central but seems to be misleading. I have no doubt this is another way EBSCO is trying to put their content first, just wondering if anyone else has contacted them about it. </div>

We're also experiencing odd search result relevancy issues in Discovery, but that's probably another entire discussion. </div>
