Change and Growth …
EBSCO is an evolving organism
EBSCO has been closely studying
how the information industry works
There are too many “legacy systems”
We often think:
“If it’s not broken,
don’t fix it!”
Something, somewhere went
terribly wrong … half joking!
> Too many “legacy systems”
> Old systems & old
procedures that we inherited
from our ancestors!.
Communications Between
Libraries, Vendors, and Publishers
are in too many Different Formats
EBSCO is Evolving
the Process of Data Exchange
between Publishers, Vendors & Libraries
• Serials subscriptions are complicated and detailed
• Many different databases full of the same information
