EBSCO: A Ten‐Year Retrospective and View Toward the Future

Abstract

EBSCO's position in today's library is both the same as ever and vastly different than it was ten years ago. EBSCO has always placed the customer first and remained focused in our goal to provide convenient access to serial information—in whatever format technology allows and the customer desires. In so doing it has developed over 100 interfaces with integrated library systems, automated many of its transactions with customers and publishers, worked on national and international committees developing standards, and created an entire division, EBSCO Publishing, to establish current awareness services through its indexing and abstracting of over 2,300 titles. Additionally, EBSCO Publishing produces or co‐produces over 30 CD‐ROM products. EBSCO Publishing is working closely with a number of integrated library system vendors allowing libraries to purchase tape access to its various databases.
