In November 2024, New York Public Library (NYPL) successfully implemented EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) as Article Plus for their patrons. This change, along with a single-search box on a newly-launched Online Resources and Databases page, facilitates a transformative experience for NYPL patrons. The implementation of EDS marks a significant milestone by providing patrons with enhanced access to hundreds of online resources and databases. In this session, NYPL’s Elliot Clement, Research Electronic Resources Coordinator, and Laura Leone, Collections Access and Discovery Project Manager, will share their experiences and insights on the implementation process of EDS. They will discuss the strategic changes made to the NYPL website to integrate EDS, support received from the EBSCO implementation team, and the work it took to create and promote the launch of Article Plus. Key highlights of the session will include: • An overview of the implementation process, including details about the redesign of the previous Articles and Databases user interface. • The collaborative efforts among NYPL and EBSCO stakeholders to ensure a seamless integration. • The impact of EDS on improving access to resources and information. • A live demonstration of the new features and functionalities added to the NYPL website.
