OCLC has added 15 publishers representing over 400 new professional and academic journals to its OCLC FirstSearch Electronic Collection Online service, bringing the total number of titles signed to the service to more than 2,200.
"Publishers recognize the value of aggregating titles from multiple sources into Electronic Collections Online, a single online collection from which libraries can select precisely what they need," said Andrea Keyhani, manager, licensing and publisher relations, OCLC. "OCLC provides additional value by integrating the journals with bibliographic databases from the FirstSearch service and other services OCLC offers the library community."
The 15 publishers new to Electronic Collections Online are: American Management Association, American Mathematical Society, American Meteorological Society, Applied Spectroscopy, Brookings Institution Press, Cambridge University Press, Edward Arnold, IOS Press, Mary Ann Liebert, MCB University Press, Oxford University Press, Rand, Swets & Zeitlinger, Thieme, and Walter de Gruyter.
"This most recent addition greatly expands the overall scope and prestige of the Electronic Collections Online collection with the inclusion of renowned university presses, professional societies and association publishers, as well as leading international publishers,” said Ms. Keyhani.
Many of the new titles represent expansion in the social sciences and humanities with particular emphasis on economics and management, while the number of Electronic Collections Online titles in the scientific, medical and technical areas continues to grow. All Electronic Collections Online titles are peer-reviewed and distributed worldwide.
Electronic Collections Online journals are also available through the OCLC FirstSearch service, the online reference service that provides a common interface to 86 databases frequently used by students and researchers. Later this year, a new version of FirstSearch will completely integrate Electronic Collections Online into FirstSearch.
