New Additions to _Just-in-Time(sm): Electronic Delivery Services_
I am pleased to announce the following major additions to _Just-in-Time(sm):
Electronic Delivery Services_ , Web-based clearinghouse of services, products,
and research devoted to 'pay-per-view- access to electronic journal articles
I. CatchWord
http://www.catchword.com/
There are now over 350 journals online from 27 publisher clients around the
world." Current publishers include the American Institute of Biological
Sciences, Carfax Publishing, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, Plenum
Publishing, Royal Society of Chemistry, Taylor and Francis, among several
others.
This is one of the largest gateways to electronic journals
of which I am aware.
II. Science /AAAS
http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/login?uri=/sn-sub/signedin.shtml
"For US$10.00 you can have access .... to all content in Science Online or
ScienceNOW for 24 hours."
III. Documents Direct (Leeds University Library)
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/library/docdel/home.htm
This is an *extremely* interesting research project at the Leeds University
Library
which seeks "to investigate and evaluate new mechanisms for the discovery and
delivery of full text journal articles and similar material to academic staff
and researchers of ... [Leeds] University" as a substitute for print ownership
[WOW!]
*****************
I am greatly interested in *other* projects such a Documents Direct
that may be underway or under consideration by other libraries for possible
inclusion in my next update of _Just-in-Time(sm)_ BTW, _Just-in-Time(sm) is
located at
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/Just.htm
*******************
Thanks again to all who responded to my previous
call for candidates!
As Always, Any and All contributions, queries, critiques, comments,
questions, concerns, etc., etc. regarding this
post are Most Welcome.
Regards,
