EBSCO Online now includes more than 1 million articles in electronic form from 3,700 journals. In addition, 1,500 journal-level links go to publisher Web sites. Only 20 months ago the database reached the 140,000 article mark.
EBSCO Online developers are now working on a feature that will allow users to view LC subject codes assigned to each journal. They will also have the option of selecting a subject for which a list of all related journals can be retrieved. A pay-per-view service will also be launched early next year so users without access to a particular journal via subscription will be able to purchase individual articles with a credit card.
Institutions that wish to place subscriptions to journals in electronic form can now review publisher licensing agreements on EBSCO Online and can link to that journal's registration form. [Contact: EBSCO Online; Web: www.ebsco.com.]
