Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, US, has announced that Thomson Reuters will make its collections directly accessible to Web of Knowledge subscribers via the Primo Central mega-aggregate of scholarly e-content. With Primo Central, users simultaneously search locally managed collections and global e-content and receive search results that are blended into a single relevance-ranked list.
Web of Knowledge, part of the Web of Knowledge platform, is a comprehensive database of research citations available. Authoritative, multidisciplinary content in Web of Science covers more than 11,000 of the most influential journals worldwide, including Open Access journals and more than 110,000 conference proceedings spanning the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities.
Thomson Reuters is the latest of the rapidly expanding group of content providers who have chosen to make their content accessible to library users via Primo Central. Records from Web of Science, together with the citation counts, will appear in search results for institutions subscribing to both Primo Central and Web of Science.
Hosted by Ex Libris in a cloud computing environment, Primo Central covers hundreds of millions of global and regional e-resources, such as journal articles and e-books obtained from primary and secondary publishers and aggregators, as well as items obtained from open-access repositories.
