EBSCO Discovery Service API searcher for NCSU Quick Search

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.

In your search application:

1. Add the "ebsco_discovery_service_api" searcher to config/quick_search_config.yml

2. Copy the config/ebsco_discovery_service_api_config.yml file into the config/searchers/ directory and fill out the values are appropriate.

3. Include in your Search Results page

<%= render_module(@ebsco_discovery_service, 'ebsco_discovery_service_api') %>

1. Add the "ebsco_discovery_service_api_article" searcher to config/quick_search_config.yml

2. Copy the config/ebsco_discovery_service_api_article_config.yml file into the config/searchers/ directory and fill out the values are appropriate.

3. Include in your Search Results page

<%= render_module(@ebsco_discovery_service_article, 'ebsco_discovery_service_api_article') %>
