I received an email last week that the EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) is now available. You can learn more at http://www.ebscohost.com/discovery/ and there’s a link to request a free trial at the top of the page. It looks like they’ve given it the same look as the EBSCOHost products, though there’s mention that the colour scheme is skinnable. I can’t find a list of their content partners on their site. Anyone already running this as a beta partner?

I know one content provider that isn’t participating: ProQuest. Since they’ve got a rival product (Summon), ProQuest isn’t letting EBSCO harvest their metadata (EBSCO is also protecting their metadata from harvesting by ProQuest as well)
anybody actually using this in production environment? all marketing hype as far as i can see withouth a proof that it works.
