quick_search-ebsco_discovery_service_api_searcher

EBSCO Discovery Service API searcher for NCSU Quick Search

Installation

Include the searcher gem in your Gemfile:

gem 'quick_search-ebsco_discovery_service_api_searcher'

Run bundle install:

bundle install

This gem provides two separate EBSCO Discovery Service searchers:

*ebsco_discovery_service_api_searcher: A searcher that queries EBSCO Discovery Service for all item types *ebsco_discovery_service_api_article_searcher: A searcher that limits the EBSCO Discovery Service query to articles and book chapters

The ebsco_discovery_service_api_article_searcher has special handling to return a direct link to the article (instead of to the EBSCO catalog entry), where possible.
