Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing, US, has announced a new partnership with British Library to add the latter’s Electronic Table of Contents File (ETOC) to EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS). ETOC was created to identify journal articles and conference papers from the British Library’s Document Supply collections. It includes more than 36.5 million records providing broad subject coverage across all academic disciplines with 2.5 million articles being added each year.
ETOC combines article-level access to the top 20,000 research journals requested from the British Library along with papers from 16,000 annual conference proceedings - totaling nearly 40 million records. ETOC is updated daily, and content goes back to 1993. With the addition of ETOC to EBSCO Discovery Service, EDS customers now have an added resource to augment the deep, broad indexing and the complexity of subjects already available from the vast and growing discovery service from EBSCO.
EDS is part of EBSCO’s Complete Discovery Solution combining the core discovery layer/index with the federated search capabilities of EBSCOhost Integrated Search and the familiar, powerful EBSCOhost search experience. The service creates a unified, customised index of an institution’s information resources and provides access via a single search box. Metadata is harvested from both internal (library) and external (vendors) sources, creating a pre-indexed service of significant size and speed.
