Databases
EBSCO Publishing’s core business is providing online databases via its proprietary software, EBSCOhost, to libraries.[2]
The company introduced a new 2.0 interface in 2008, which, according to EBSCO, "combines the need for a simplified search experience with in-depth functions."[3] A related product is EBSCO A-to-Z, which consolidates information into a central database.
The company also provides databases for reference in both the health and business sectors. Dynamed is a clinical reference tool which is available as a subscription-based resource providing evidence-based clinical information to physicians.[4][5]
