Twelve Publishers Add Journal Content to EBSCOhost ® Electronic Journals Service Enhanced

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, U.S.A., October 19, 2005 – Twelve publishers have recently signed agreements to add their content – collectively representing 61 titles – to EBSCOhost ® Electronic Journals Service Enhanced (EJS).

The content for these journals is easily accessible at the article level, increasing visibility and usage of the journals. Further, the metadata is automatically included in EBSCO SmartLinks ™, which provides validated and rights-checked linking from citations in EBSCOhost databases to the full text found on EJS, in other EBSCOhost databases and e-journals from CrossRef-member publishers. This allows end users to conduct a single, comprehensive search of available resources.

The publishers adding content are BC Decker, E-Med Ltd., eContent Management, Dialogue Foundation, American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, IFIS Publishing, Palgrave Macmillan, The Berkeley Electronic Press, the American Podiatric Medical Association, the American Association on Mental Retardation, the American Public Health Association and the Pan American Health Organization.

EJS handles electronic journal access and management needs. EJS Enhanced offers extensive features that help with e-journal management tasks such as tracking the registration status of e-journals, authentication assistance to facilitate both on-campus and remote access to e-journal content, automatic management of e-journal URLs and much more.

EJS Enhanced serves as a consolidated gateway that allows users to search and link to more than 12,300 (OpenURL supported) journals and over 6.5 million articles. EBSCO provides durable URLs for every journal, table of contents and article in EJS Enhanced. No URL maintenance by the library is required.
