Serials Solutions Summon™ Service Continues to Expand Content with Swedish Publisher BTJ
SEATTLE – November 16, 2011 – Serials Solutions®, a business unit of ProQuest® LLC, today announced it has signed an agreement with BTJ to enable the discovery of their ArtikelSök® resource from the Summon™ web-scale discovery service. With the inclusion of metadata for the over 2 million items including articles from 12 Swedish newspapers and 440 periodicals, researchers now will be able to discover high quality Swedish-language materials alongside their library’s other resources to gather the most relevant information for their projects.
BTJ has 70 years of experience in making information available to libraries through their effective search services. These services make it possible to search various media and gain access to newspaper and magazine articles. BTJ also offers a database focused on poetry which includes 28,000 Swedish poems; bibliographic services to help libraries build and maintain their library catalogs; as well subscription services to assist in the management of newspaper and magazine subscriptions.
“As libraries continue to adopt the Summon service, it is important that we continue to build and maintain a single index that delivers the most relevant coverage researchers expect when they begin their research,” said John Law, vice president of discovery solutions at Serials Solutions. “The integration of BTJ’s makes Summon even more useful for researchers to quickly and easily discover authoritative information on Swedish newspaper and periodical articles.”
With this arrangement, BTJ joins the ever-growing list of Summon™ service content providers, underscoring Serials Solutions’ ongoing commitment to make the most comprehensive discovery service for researchers around the world. With full text search for most content in its single unified index, the Summon™ service provides a superior discovery experience by allowing researchers to search its more than 810 million records optimized for discovery using the Summon™ service’s exclusive match and merge process.
Recognized as the Best Enterprise Search Solution at the 2011 CODiE Awards by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the Summon™ service offers the most compelling user experience by providing an easy and open discovery experience.
