Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, has announced an agreement with Philosophy Documentation Center allowing scholarly philosophy content to be available to end users via EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS). The agreement enables institutions subscribing to both EDS and Philosophy Documentation Center to conduct their search via the single search box of EBSCO Discovery Service, access the valuable content in Philosophy Documentation Center within the results and be able to link over to the full record.
Established in 1966, Philosophy Documentation Center provides scholarly materials to researchers in the areas of philosophy, applied ethics, religious studies, classics, and related disciplines. Philosophy Documentation Center helps support all levels of teaching and research in these disciplines by providing essential resources such as reference materials, peer-reviewed journals, book series, conference proceedings and research databases.
Philosophy Documentation Center 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, and thousands of others. Partners also include content providers, such as LexisNexis, Thomson Reuters (Web of Science), JSTOR, ARTstor, Credo Reference, World Book, ABC-CLIO, and many others.
The EDS Base Index represents content from about 20,000 providers (and growing) in addition to metadata from another 70,000 book publishers, representing far more content providers and publishers than any other discovery service.
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.
