if you want to search only jornal titles, the best option is to ask of
marc records from Ebsco and insert them into Koha.

If you want to search articlese titles and into articles full text the
one option is to use a Z39.50 search connection.
To integrate Koha and one or more Z39.50 search connection you can
install PazPar2 (a metasearcher) during Koha install and setup it

You can use also a discovery tool like Vufind, those tools prefer the
web API, they dislike z39.50
To integrate Vufind and Ebsco see:
http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-636
http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-423
There are two different API

At least you can write a specific tool. Here http://catalogo.pusc.it/
you can see a integration done javascript (Koha and an other open web site).
