What is EDS (EBSCO Discovery Service)?

EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) is a research discovery tool that allows students, faculty, and staff to search multiple databases and the West Library Catalog at one time in a single search box. 

Using EDS:

  • streamlines the research process and allows for multiple ways to refine search results that best suit your research needs.
  • provides immediate access to relevant full-text content including magazine and journal articles, primary sources, educational videos, encyclopedia articles, e-books, and more.
    • Full-text items will always be ranked higher in the search results, if Texas Wesleyan does not own or provide access to a desired item, it can be borrowed via InterLibrary Loan (ILL)

Please view the image below to see where you can find the EDS Search Bar on the library website.
