[Koha] EBSCOHost and Koha? Is anyone using/integrating both?

[Kathryn Tyree]

Kia ora,

This may address more general interest in using Koha to search across
other databases (in this case using the Ebsco EDS Api).

You can read a story from NIWA who worked with Ebsco and Catalyst to
create and implement the EDS api, here:
http://koha-community.org/koha-community-newsletter-april-2014/#ebsco 

Since NIWA's implementation, a few other libraries have followed, and
expanded on this. The Department of Corrections in NZ sponsored a new
feature so the OPAC search box can be customisable, see:
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12296 This
allowed the library to have their desired view of the search box - a
two-tabbed search box. One tab to search "discovery" (Ebsco+Koha) and
another for Koha Catalogue only search. Perhaps I'll do a little news
item with screen shots sometime.

Cheers,
Kathryn
