Licensing solutions provider Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), US, has announced the addition of eight new publishers to its Get It Now academic solution. The new publishers are Advanstar Communications, Inc., HealthCom Media, IGI Global, Intellect, Project Hope/Health Affairs Journal, SPIE, Springer Publishing Company, and W.S. Maney & Son, Ltd.
In July, CCC had announced the addition of five publishers to Get It Now: ME Sharpe Inc., Human Kinetics, Akademiai Kiado, Cognizant Communication and World Scientific Publishers. These additions bring the total number of publishers participating in the service to over 70.
Also, in July CCC announced the integration of OCLC's ILL Fee Management (IFM) Service, which officially went live August 1. The OCLC IFM service seeks to help libraries reduce administrative costs by allowing users to pay – and be paid for – ILL lending charges through their OCLC invoices. The service reduces the workload and time spent generating invoices and writing checks. It also supports reciprocal ILL agreements among libraries.
Used at over 175 institutions, Get It Now provides library patrons with immediate fulfilment of full-text articles from unsubscribed journals – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
