Serials Solutions, a business unit of US-based ProQuest LLC, has announced that it has expanded its current agreement with Oxford University Press (OUP). The new deal will enable the discovery of five additional OUP resources from the Summon web-scale discovery service. With the inclusion of the metadata and full text of OUP resources including Grove Art Online, Grove Music Online, American Dictionary of National Biography Online, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography Online and Oxford Reference Online, researchers will now be able to discover this authoritative reference content alongside their library's other resources to gather the most relevant information for their projects.
Oxford University Press, a department of Oxford University, furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide. The international university press has become familiar to millions through a diverse publishing programme that includes scholarly works in all academic disciplines, bibles, music, school and college textbooks, children's books, materials for teaching English as a foreign language, business books, dictionaries and reference books, and journals.
With this arrangement, OUP expands the content available from the ever-growing list of content providers in the Summon service, underscoring Serials Solutions' ongoing commitment to make the most comprehensive discovery service for researchers around the world. With full text search for most content in its single unified index, the Summon service provides a superior discovery experience by allowing researchers to search its more than 750 million records optimised for discovery using the Summon service's exclusive match and merge process.
The Summon service was recognised as the Best Enterprise Search Solution at the 2011 CODiE Awards by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA). More than 250 libraries worldwide are already experiencing the Summon service difference, many of which are seeing a substantial increase in the use of their library's collections.
