Research Platforms Roadmap

Chat integrations enabled in EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration are now eligible to be displayed on the Publication Finder and Full Text Finder Link Resolver user interfaces 

Publication Finder now offers the ability to export selected result list items (individual items or a full page of results, up to 100 items) as a tab separated (TSV) file. Export can be toggled on in EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration under Publication Finder Settings: Export options

This feature adds an optional new top right navigation to the Publication Finder user interface where your administrator can add preset links to your EBSCOhost and EDS profiles, or add custom URLs to link to other sites.  These new options will be available for setup under a new section for Publication Finder in EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration called Additional tools.  This will also make Publication Finder profiles eligible to display the Supplemental sources integration, and if configured, the link to Supplemental sources will display under the top right navigation options or can be linked to directly via the syntax https://publications.ebsco.com/c/{opid}/supplemental-sources, where opid is replaced with the unique opid for your Publication Finder profile. Supplemental Sources Integration is controlled in EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration under Integrations: Supplemental sources

Publication Finder customers will have the ability to enable a new set of functionality (opt-in, this will not be enabled automatically) that offers users the ability to search and browse for selected and visible databases in addition to the currently offered publication search and browse. This will also tie into new functionality being made available in Holdings Management to set custom package Display Names, alternate package names and package/database descriptions.

EBSCO's Global Knowledgebase is being populated with new managed package descriptions, alternate package names, package subjects, and package-level URLs that will be searchable in Holdings Management.  Additionally, Holdings Management Administrators will be able to create a custom package display name, add alternate package names and descriptions, and associate additional managed subjects to packages; users can also add package URLs to their custom packages.

Library administrators now have the ability to customize the text of the Publications label that appears in the lefthand navigation pane under Research Tools on EBSCO Discovery Service, EBSCOhost, and Explora profiles. The default label is now Publication Finder.

The Publication Finder search box builder is now available in the new search box module in EEM.

For those institutions that use Full Text Finder, library administrators can make more confident purchase, renewal, and upgrade decisions by leveraging the Collection Assessment tool within Holdings and Link Manager to perform package and title level comparisons of their holdings

Enhance New Publication Finder navigation so that Search home (now call Search Publications), Browse Databases and Browse Subjects become tabs above the search box.  The 'Search Publications' tab name will be customizable via EBSCO Experience Manager Configuration
