Ms. Orna Rosh, Head of Reference Dept.Younes & Soraya Nazarian Library, University of Haifa

User queries and subject indexing not always aligned.Different vocabularies often use different terminology for the same concept.

| www.ebsco.com41

Example (without ESP)Atarax = Manufacturer brand name for drug Hydroxyzine

Without ESP, topical searches match the user’s keywords, but not always aligned with user’s intent.

Drug nameCONCEPT: Hydroxyzine (Drug)MESH (Pref): HydroxyzineMESH: 2-(2-(4-((4-Chlorophenyl)phenylmethyl)-1-piperazinyl)ethoxy)ethanolMESH: Hydroxyzine PamoateMESH: OrgatraxMESH: AtaraxMESH: Hydroxyzine DihydrochlorideMESH: VistarilMESH: DurraxMESH: Hydroxyzine HydrochlorideCSI (Pref): Hydroxyzine (Drug)CSI: Vistaril (Drug)CSI: Atarax (Drug)PSYCINFO (Pref): Hydroxyzine

| www.ebsco.com43

Example (ESP enhanced)Atarax = Manufacturer brand name for drug Hydroxyzine

ESP adds a concept recognition function to match and boost the relevance of

records about the recognized concept.

| www.ebsco.com44

Example (ESP enhanced)Atarax = Manufacturer brand name for drug Hydroxyzine

ESP may be turned ON/OFF for individual searches based on user

preference. EDS default is ON.
