CCC ‘Get It Now’ article delivery service available via EBSCO

CCC has announced an expansion to its multi-year strategic agreement with EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO). CCC’s ‘Get It Now’ academic article delivery service is now integrated with EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), enabling students, faculty, and researchers at higher education institutions to request and access individual journal articles from within the EDS search and discovery platform.

EDS aims to provide sophisticated search capabilities and superior relevance ranking technology with direct access to the full text of library-subscribed content. For journal content that the academic library does not subscribe to,  a link to ‘Get It Now’ is provided within EDS search results, where the patron or librarian can purchase the article for immediate delivery as an alternative to interlibrary loan (ILL).

“Our integration with ‘Get It Now’ helps ensure academics can discover and access the high-quality journal content they require to further their research, whether their library subscribes to the journal or not,” said Bonnie Leavitt, Vice President, Product Management, EBSCO Information Services. “This comprehensive solution combines EDS’s superior indexing and discovery capabilities with ‘Get It Now’ around-the-clock article purchase and delivery within the research workflow, saving valuable time and resources.”

“CCC and EBSCO have partnered for years, providing best-in-class solutions for our mutual customers in academic institutions and corporations,” said Emily Sheahan, Vice President and Managing Director, CCC. “The integration of ‘Get It Now’ and EDS is another example where we listen to our customers and work together to make it easy to discover and quickly obtain non-subscribed journal content to improve the research process.”
