Add/Edit EDS Search Target lets you add a new EDS search target or change the settings for an existing EDS search target. The EDS search target defines the connection information to EDS.
EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) is a federated service that provides electronic resources to libraries. Enterprise lets libraries that subscribe to EDS include EDS as a federated target that patrons can search and use to download electronic resources. Your library can subscribe to EDS through EBSCO.
Target Name
Displays the name of the search target that you are editing.
Note: If you are adding a search target, this information does not display.

Description
Specifies a short explanation of the purpose of the target.
Use EDS labels for English
EDS provides labels that are more detailed than those that are provided by SirsiDynix Enterprise but are grouped together. For example, EDS may have several Author labels (such as Corporate Author) combined under the Author group. When this option is not selected, the EDS labels in a group are all included under the same Enterprise label.
EDS content and labels are available only in English. If you cater only to an English speaking audience, you can take advantage of the detailed EDS labels by enabling this option. If you cater to a non-English speaking audience, the only way to display localized labels for EDS content is to disable this option and take advantage of the label localization that SirsiDynix Enterprise provides.
Show target in a separate tab
Displays the tab that opens the results of the target on the same level as the Catalog and Database tabs in the Searching interface. When this option is not selected, the tab displays under the Database tab along with any other federated targets enabled for the profile.
