EBSCO A-to-Z can be further customized with any combination of the following add-on services:


LinkSource®
LinkSource® is a vendor-neutral OpenURL link resolver that puts the library in control of item-level linking and helps to maximize the use of its full-text collections. Using LinkSource’s extensive knowledge base, the library administrator can select the appropriate resources (databases, e-journal sites, etc.) to be linked and apply the conditions that determine when the links display, solving the “appropriate copy” problem.

WebFeat Express
WebFeat Express™ is a federated search engine packaged with EBSCO A-to-Z. Once the library has established the databases to which it has access in EBSCO A-to-Z, the WebFeat Express search engine can automatically detect them. The end result is that patrons can search any or all of a library’s databases simultaneously through a single interface.

EBSCO A-to-Z with MARC Updates
With EBSCO A-to-Z with MARC Updates, customers can elect to receive a MARC file of their electronic holdings on a monthly basis. This service acts as a single, comprehensive source of MARC cataloging that allows libraries to easily include virtually all their e-content in their catalog.
