As a full-service solution for electronic journal management, EBSCO Online is a Web-based service that provides a single site for end users to search and access their library’s collection of electronic journals. A key feature of the system is the ability to search across journal content regardless of publisher. Administrative features enable librarians to manage a dynamic electronic journal collection, order new electronic journals, and track usage. EBSCO Online handles authentication so customers do not have to deal with the problems of keeping up with multiple URLs, usernames, and passwords. Administrators can choose from a variety of authentication methods to accommodate access depending on user community needs.
