Infotrieve, a Los Angeles document delivery and online information service, has announced a series of content agreements with a wide range of partners including scientific associations, technical publishers and major university presses.
Tom Ryan, v-p of business development at Infotrieve, said the agreements "foster Infotrieve's commitment to enhancing the way scientific content is distributed." Infotrieve (www.infotrieve.com) offers online access to purchase and download more than 1.5 million full-text articles and documents.
The company cited recent agreements to provide electronic access to journals, newsletters and conference content from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development, the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, CRC Press and Penn State University Press, among other technical and professional publishers.
An new agreement with Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, a privately owned publisher of bibliographic databases and journals, will make Infotrieve the preferred document delivery provider for BiblioAlerts.com, CSA's new Web-based information service. BiblioAlerts.com allows users to search over 1,500 bibliographic reports on up-to-the-minute scientific topics and allows users to purchase articles online. Infotrieve will also offer document delivery services for the more than 80 databases available through CSA's Internet Database Service.
Additional agreements with the American Meteorological Society, MIT Press, Oxford University Press, Bentham Science Publishers, the Royal Society of Medicine, Portland Press Ltd. and CABI publishing will also provide electronic and document delivery services to a wide range of publications. And earlier this summer, Infotrieve agreed to participate in the National Library of Medicine's PubMed, a Web-based portal to MEDLINE, a biomedical Internet database. PubMed provides access to a collection of more than 11 million references and abstracts from more than 4,300 journals. Users can acquire documents as well as complete-text digital content on a pay-per-view basis.
