 +===== CORAL =====
 +
 +CORAL is an acronym meaning Centralized Online Resource Acquisitions and Licensing. The title doesn'​t mean much, but CORAL is our electronic resource management (ERM) system. ERM systems are usually third party applications used to supplement the ILS (Aleph) since most were not designed to handle electronic resources or rights management. CORAL is where we track access, pricing, and licensing data about eResources.

 +===== EDS/​Discovery Layer =====
 +
 +EBSCO Discovery Search/​Service (EDS) is the libraries Discovery layer. Discovery layers are the library-worlds solution to Google-esque search habits. It allows users to perform a federated search, or a search in one location that spans multiple sources. This means that a user can search for the word "​cat"​ across many of our physical and digital databases of resources at once, instead of performing the search multiple times in multiple locations and interfaces. EDS does not however search everything that the library owns or buys, so it is supplemented by other knowledge bases or catalogs like the Five College Catalog, EDS, the Database A-Z page, Credo, etc.

 +===== HLM =====
 +
 +HLM (possibly Holdings and Link Management or just Holdings Management) is a system that lives in the EBSCOAdmin and powers our eJournal placard. It takes information that we give it (our eJournal holdings) and facilitates direct title matching. So when a user searches a journal title that HLM recognizes (Journal of Fish Biology) it will display the exact match eJournal placard at the top of the results and allow users to search directly within the full text of that particular publication or be launched to the platform that holds that publication.

 +MARC is an encoding language for bibliographic records created in the 1960s to replace paper card catalogs. The many fields are encoded so that they can be converted from data files to readable text, meaning both computers and people can read the information contained within.

 ===== SFX ===== ===== SFX =====
  
 +SFX is an ExLibris product (a ProQuest company) which is our link resolver. It allows full text access to our eJournal content, and plugs into EDS and other databases so that when searching users can call out to SFX and check for all the places full text access for titles exists. SFX is an Open URL Link Resolver (the original one actually) which ingests metadata from a source (wherever a patron happens to be searching) puts the metadata against an SFX object (a journal title, article, etc.) and provides a list of targets (everywhere where we have told the knowledgebase that we have access to that object) that link to an external platform with full text content to the article.
