Hi Jennifer,
I am interested, if this fits what you are looking for.
We are also implementing EDS at a master's I, 3407 FTE academic
institution.
Not sure if we are offering a different experience, but we do have a mix
of resources at our academic library.
Our evaluation / selection process, comparing SerialsSolutions 360
Search (negotiating for access to Summon), EDS, and Google Scholar, asks
students, faculty, and staff to try out each service using one search
and rank their favorites.
Trial run of the process led us to select EDS. I am happy to provide
additional details if this sounds like it would fit your profile.
