Library resources provider EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) and Casalini Libri have developed a new partnership enabling content from Casalini Libri's extensive Torrossa.it platform to be searched within EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS). Casalini Libri is a supplier of European books, journals, digital content and bibliographical data to libraries and agencies throughout the world. Torrossa hosts the full text content of over 160 publishers.
The agreement between EBSCO and Casalini Libri will add metadata from the following Torrossa.it collection's into EDS: Editoria Italiana Online (EIO), Edición Española Online (EEO), Fabrizio Serra Editore e-journal collections, Franco Angeli e-journal collections, Olschki ebook and e-journal collections, Ecole Française de Rome, BIZ - Biblioteca Italiana Zanichelli. The content represents an expansive range of subject areas such as social sciences, history, geography, biography, arts, philosophy, psychology, pure sciences, religion, literature and applied sciences.
The addition of the Casalini Libri metadata will benefit EBSCO Discovery Service users in Europe and all over the world. EBSCO is constantly expanding EDS to fulfill the needs of all of their users and EDS customers can include metadata from their own unique collections, including their catalogue (OPAC), Institutional Repositories, databases, archival collections and more.
