As a library system, we strive to offer useful and relevant resources to our community. One of the most efficient resources that we offer is EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS). EDS works by providing electronic access to our library’s physical and digital collections. We recently purchased access to a collection of over 300,000 electronic books that can be accessed through EDS, which can help with homework, research, and day-to- day information needs. EDS is very easy to use and can be accessed from the Research page on our website. Give it a try, or ask for more information today!
