Integrating the EBSCO Knowledge Base with the Resources module

The EBSCO Kb Config tab on the Resources module Admin page is where you configure the EBSCO Knowledge Base integration feature. Using this feature, you can search the EBSCO Knowledge Base without leaving BLUEcloud eRM. From the list of Knowledge Base search results, you can also activate holdings remotely, and import title and package information into the Resources module. To turn on the EBSCO Knowledge Base integration, you must supply your EBSCO HoldingsIQ API credentials. Once you turn on this feature you will see the EBSCO Kb option on the Resources module navigation bar. For more information about the EBSCO Knowledge Base integration, see EBSCO Kb page.
