Library resources provider EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) and Cairn.info have come to an agreement allowing metadata and selected full text from Cairn.info's comprehensive collection of French, Belgian and Swiss journals to be added to EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS). Content from Cairn.info includes 370 French-language academic journals with 150,000 articles. Coverage dates back to 2001.
Cairn.info was formed in 2005 by four French and Belgian publishing houses (Belin, De Boeck, La Découverte and Erès) and progressively joined by more than 120 publishers dealing with francophone (French-speaking) humanities and social sciences.
Cairn.info offers the most comprehensive collection of publications in French language available online. The collection covers many disciplines appealing to a variety of users including: social sciences, humanities, economics, psychology, political science, history, philosophy and literature.
This agreement will enable the francophone scholarly journals to extend their global reach, and enhance their discoverability, via the rich metadata and full text searching in EBSCO Discovery Service.
Cairn.info 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 and 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 HathiTrust and many others.
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.
