Abstract
Abstract This study aims to find out EBSCO’s content discoverability rate by Ex Libris’ Central Discovery Index (CDI), under the circumstance that Ex Libris/ProQuest and EBSCO do not share index data with each other. In early 2022, 512 random sample articles were collected from two EBSCO databases, Academic Search Complete and CINAHL. They were searched in Primo by title. 492 (96.09%) EBSCO samples can be found in Primo. Most of the 20 (3.91%) samples not available in Primo are non-journal and non-English items. The uncooperativeness between Ex Libris/ProQuest and EBSCO no longer seems to be a big factor for each other’s discovery service to discover and link to the items in the other party’s electronic collections.
