British Library teams with Google(DMEurope Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)DMEUROPE-3 March 2006-British Library teams with Google (C)2006 DMeurope.com (http://www.dmeurope.com) & DME Ltd. All rights reserved. Search company Google and the British Library are joining forces to offer researchers, students and academics desktop delivery of millions of full text scholarly research articles. Searches on Google Scholar will include links to the British Library's document delivery service. Search results will be matched against the library's holdings and where a match is made, users will have the option to obtain the articles via British Library Direct, the British Library's online document ordering interface. Below each successfully matched Google Scholar result, a 'BL Direct' link will appear. Users that click on the link will be taken to an online ordering form already populated with the bibliographic details of the desired article. Users can then download the article after paying a copyright fee, where applicable. Until now, online subject searches yielded many results that could not provide researchers with access to full text. By linking Google Scholar's search software with the British Library's document supply service, users can complete the discovery-to-desktop-delivery process. [ Back To TMCnet.com's Homepage ] |
