Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, has announced a new partnership with Bridgeman Education allowing images from Bridgeman Education's extensive collection to be searched within EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS). The agreement will add metadata from the Bridgeman Education collection into the Base Index of EDS.
Bridgeman Education is the online education resource of the Bridgeman Art Library, the world's leading source of fine art, cultural and historical images. The collection, which is available by subscription to individuals or institutions, includes over 390,000 high-quality images for teaching and learning. The resources found in Bridgeman Education provide the visual culture of every civilisation and every period from prehistory to the present. Its extensive coverage of subject areas will appeal to a broad range of researchers.
Bridgeman Education 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.
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. The EDS Base Index represents content from approximately 20,000 providers (and growing) in addition to metadata from another 70,000 book publishers.
