'''EBSCO Publishing''' is a [[company (law)|company]] that provides serial content in the form of [[online]] [[bibliographic]] and full text [[Bibliographic database|databases]] such as '''EBSCOhost''', which can be accessed after purchasing a [[subscription]]. EBSCO is popular among [[library|libraries]], [[school]]s, and other institutions. The headquarters is located in [[Ipswich, Massachusetts]].


The company is a subsidiary of [[EBSCO Industries]].


EBSCO Publishing(EP) is the most-prolific aggregator of premium full-text content. With nearly 300 research databases culled from a library of tens of thousands of full-text journals, magazines, books, monographs, reports and various other publication types from renowned publishers, EBSCO serves the content needs of all researchers (Academic, Medical, K-12, Public Library, Corporate, Government, etc.). The company is a division of EBSCO Industries, Inc., one of the top 200 privately-held companies in the United States according to ''Forbes'' magazine.
==EBSCOhost==
EBSCOhost is a subscription-based service provided by EBSCO Publishing. It is widely-accessible via private and public databases in libraries and schools. EBSCOhost is an umbrella term for various other databases which provide full text searches and abstracts of magazines, newspapers and reference books in a variety of subject areas, updated on a daily basis. Libraries and other institutions subscribe to EBSCOhost, and optionally choose one or more of the offered databases as part of their subscription. Customers can then search all of the subscribed databases, or focus their search on a subset.


EP owns and operates EBSCO''host'', the most-used for-fee electronic resource in libraries around the world. EBSCO''host'' is a multi-media database and one-stop reference system featuring unprecedented search and retrieval speed, flexible options for access and a graphical user interface.
Some databases have overlapping information, and are targeted to different sectors of the market, such as libraries, K-12 schools, corporations, government institutions, universities, or medical institutions. As of 2008, over 200 possible databases are available, such as:
* Academic Search Elite: Full text for over 3,500 journals, most of which are peer-reviewed titles, some dating back to 1985
* MasterFILE Elite: covers general reference, business, and health.
* MasterFILE Premier: Full text for more than 1,750 general reference publications, some dating back to 1975, plus 500 full text reference books, full text from 86,019 biographies, 105,787 full text primary source documents, and an Image Collection of 293,480 photos, maps and flags.
* Primary Search: Targeted towards elementary school students
* EBSCO Animals: Coverage of common animals, including their habitats
* EBSCO Online Citations: Access to electronic journals and articles from EBSCO Online
* [[Funk & Wagnalls]] ''New World Encyclopedia'', with 25,000 encyclopedic entries
* Business Source Premier
* Columbia Granger's Poetry Database
* History Reference Center
* MagillOnLiterature Plus, produced by [[Salem Press]], a combination of "MagillOnLiterature" and "MagillOnAuthors", a database with literary works, critical analyses, plot summaries, author biographies, and author essays.
* MAS Ultra - School Edition: Full text for over 500 high school magazines, 360 reference books, over 85,000 biographies, 104,000 primary source documents, and hundreds of thousands of photos, maps, flags, and full text backfiles to 1975 for key magazines.
* Military and Government Collection
* Newspaper Source
* Regional Business News


EP provides databases to tens of thousands of customers representing millions of end users. Serving upwards of 70 million daily page views, EBSCO''host'' stands as one of the most used sites on the Internet. EBSCO''host'' is available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Since its inception, the EBSCO''host'' service has been available over 99.9% of the time, made possible by its service delivery network architecture.
===Health databases===
A few of the databases targeting the health reference sector:
* Health Source Plus: Coverage of health issues.
* Health Source: Consumer Edition
* Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition
* USP DI Volume II, Advice for the Patient: Provides drug information organized into subsections on brands, usage information, precautions, and side effects.
* Clinical Reference Systems: Information about symptoms, treatments, risks and after-effects of various medical conditions
* AltHealthWatch


The EBSCO''host'' platform offers a customizable interface, a variety of search options and the ability to link to full-text articles. The next generation of the popular interface — EBSCO''host'' 2.0 is available now. EBSCO''host'' 2.0 offers a clean look and feel, for a technologically sophisticated, yet familiar search experience. Built-in flexibility provides an intuitive approach to searching online databases. The redesign was based upon results gathered from extensive user testing and offers functionality at all research levels.
==EBSCO A-to-Z==
EBSCO A-to-Z, different from EBSCOhost, is a tool marketed to libraries. It allows the libraries to list all of their electronic resources, including journals, databases, electronic books, and any other local resources, into one database which represents data from all major database vendors and publishers, with information on over 216,000 unique titles from nearly 2,000 databases and e-journal packages. Clients can then search for any journal or resource and see which database it is in.


EP recently released ''EBSCOhost Integrated Search™''(EHIS) taking federated searching to a higher level by providing access to all of an institution’s EBSCO''host'' and other (non-EBSCO) resources in a single, integrated search experience. Unlike federated search products, true integration is possible with EHIS as libraries can now apply the powerful EBSCO''host'' search experience to all of their other electronic information resources.
==DynaMed==
Dynamed is a clinical reference tool published by EBSCO Publishing.<ref name=Dynamed>{{cite web | title = About Us | work = DynaMed | url = http://www.ebscohost.com/dynamed/aboutUs.php | accessdate = 2007-03-17}}</ref> It is available as a subscription-based resource providing [[evidence-based clinical information]] to [[physicians]]. <ref name=Barton_2005>{{cite journal | author = Barton, H. | title = DynaMed (review) | journal = Journal of the Medical Library Association | year = 2005 | volume = 93 | issue = 2 | pages = 412&ndash;415 | url= http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/picrender.fcgi?artid=1175815&blobtype=pdf }}</ref><ref name=Calabretta_2005>{{cite journal | author = Calabretta N, Fitzpatrick RB | title = DynaMed at the Point of Care | journal = Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries | year = 2005 | volume = 2 | issue = 1 | pages = 55&ndash;64 | doi=10.1300/J383v02n01_06 | url= https://www.haworthpress.com/store/ArticleAbstract.asp?sid=A7B0M0RMP4UM8JKB5PV7N012MEMGEXH4&ID=53120}}</ref>
It is made available to medical professionals both online and as a [[Personal digital assistant|PDA]] application for devices running [[Palm OS]] or [[Windows Mobile]].


EP will soon be launching the most comprehensive online research service in the industry, ''EBSCO Discovery Service''™. This new system will harvest metadata from internal and external sources, creating a pre-indexed service of unprecedented size and speed. It will provide libraries with a single, simple entry point for research and launch users into the entire array of a library’s collection.

Full 508 Accessibility


EP has teamed with accessibility experts to make it easier to search EBSCO''host''and ''NoveList'' products using screen readers and keyboard controls. Working with the ''EBSCO Accessibility Interest Group'', led by the Illinois Center for Instructional Technology Accessibility (iCITA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign (http://cita.uiuc.edu), EBSCO was able to determine that Text Only interfaces, the industry standard for Web Accessibility (referred to as 508 compliance in the United States), were no longer enough. By working with the ''EBSCO Accessibility Interest Group'', changes have been made, making the full features of EBSCOhost available to all users, including those with various physical and visual disabilities.
