OCLC and EBSCO partnership announced
OCLC and EBSCO have signed an agreement that makes it possible for libraries that subscribe to both WorldCat Local and EBSCOhost services to provide their users with easy online access to the full text of a wide range of authoritative electronic content through the Web.
As part of the WorldCat.org Partner Program, EBSCO's authoritative content, which includes some of the most popular databases in libraries, will be more visible to library patrons through WorldCat Local, the OCLC service based on the WorldCat.org platform that connects library users to local, regional and global library resources through a single search box.
OCLC and EBSCO, global leaders in providing access to electronic journals and reference databases, will ensure that libraries that use both WorldCat Local and EBSCOhost services are able to provide their authenticated patrons seamless online access to the full-text information they want—whether it is discovered through WorldCat Local, or through the EBSCO Integrated Search platform.
