Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, and Oxford University Press (OUP) have extended their partnership enabling two additional authoritative resources from OUP - University Press Scholarship Online and Oxford Dictionary of National Biography - to be searchable within EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS).
University Press Scholarship Online provides more than 10,000 titles in 24 subject areas from 10 leading university presses. Content includes a balance of classic works of scholarship along with newly-published works. The valuable resource also includes book-level and chapter-level records.
Oxford Dictionary of National Biography offers over 50,000 biographies written by named, specialist authors. The dictionary is the national record of men and women who have shaped British history and culture, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century and is overseen by academic editors at Oxford University, UK, and published by Oxford University Press.
The new agreement between EBSCO and OUP allows EDS users to search University Press Scholarship Online and Oxford Dictionary of National Biography while mutual customers may further extend their search to access the full text on the Oxford site. Oxford University Press customers may use an EDS CustomLink already created in EBSCOadmin to access full text on the Oxford site.
Oxford University Press is part of a growing list of publishers and other content partners that are taking part in EDS to bring more visibility to their content. Partners include the world's largest scholarly journal & book publishers including Elsevier, Wiley Blackwell, Springer Science & Business Media, Taylor & Francis Informa, Sage Publications, Nature Publishing, IEEE, ACM and thousands of others. Partners also include content providers, such as LexisNexis, Thomson Reuters (Web of Science), JSTOR, ARTstor, Credo Reference, Encyclopedia Britannica, World Book, ABC-CLIO, The Hathi Trust and many others.
The EDS Base Index represents content from about 20,000 providers (and growing), which accounts for more than 350,000 publications from the world's top publishers and information providers. EBSCO Discovery Service creates a unified, customised index of an institution's information resources, and an easy, yet powerful means of accessing all of that content from a single search box.
