Enhancement to Books in Print

Dear GlobalBooksInPrint.com Subscriber,

Bowker is pleased to announce the July 2005 enhancements to GlobalBooksInPrint.com.

As a reminder - you can further familiarize yourself with these, and many other enhancements, by signing up for a complimentary remote training session. Choose a date and time that best fits your schedule. Train alone or with a group, right from your personal computer. Visit www.BowkerSupport.com to sign up!

Overview of enhancements in this message:
**ISBN-13 is Here!
**Lists - Made Easier
**Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) Linking
**Book Collection Analysis Tools for Libraries

******************************************************

1. ISBN-13 is Here!
In order to accommodate the growing number of books being published each year (last year alone more than 195,000 new titles and editions were published), beginning January 1, 2007, all 10-digit International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) will be converted to new 13-digit ISBNs.

As the United States ISBN Agency, Bowker is excited to introduce the new 13-digit ISBNs into GlobalBooksInPrint.com. You will now be able to search by both the 13-digit ISBN and the 10-digit ISBN (either with or without hyphens). Additionally, the ISBN-13 will appear on the full description page for every title with an ISBN-10. If you accidentally type in a 13-digit ISBN that is not valid, BooksInPrint.com will automatically alert you of this error.

For helpful links about the ISBN-13 transition and new screenshots of GlobalBooksInPrint.com, please visit: http://www.bowkersupport.com/isbn13/

2. Lists - Made Easier
You spoke. We listened. Based on customer feedback, we have improved the process of adding items to a list. Once you create a new list, that list name is maintained in the list name drop down box for you to choose from the next time you click “Add to List”. These settings are maintained until changed by the user or until the user logs out. There is no more searching for your list every time you want to add records to an existing list.

3. Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) Linking
Through BooksInPrint.com you can now quickly and easily clear copyright permissions as you search for bibliographic information about specific books, journals and other copyrighted material. Simply select the “get permission” link featured on the Full Description (just beneath the blue tabs) and you will be taken to the appropriate permission service page on copyright.com. User and bibliographic information is automatically transferred from Bowker applications to copyright.com, eliminating the need to re-enter information or conduct another title search.

You can also limit your search (in the Advanced Search Screen) to only those items available through Copyright Clearance Center. Please follow this link to read the press release: http://www.copyright.com/ccc/do/viewPage?pageCode=au107

4. Book Collection Analysis Tools
Exciting new partnerships with H.W. Wilson and ACRL have allowed Bowker to develop Bowker's Book Analysis System - a collection development tool that will allow a qualitative analysis of your holdings without laborious, manual comparisons. This week, Bowker debuted the school and public library version which will compare your holdings against the H.W. Wilson Standard Catalogs and provide you with reports (drilled down to the thousands section of the Dewey Decimal classification) that you can use to identify gaps and duplicates within your collection. For more information, visit www.BowkersBookAnalysis.com.

As always, these enhancements will also be posted on BowkerSupport.com.

Thank you for being a Bowker customer!

A Century of PsycARTICLES

Collection of More than a Century of Articles Will Be Provided to
Licensees at No Additional Charge

CHICAGO, June 25, 2005-The American Psychological Association (APA)
announced today that nearly 100 years of issues from 24 APA journals
will be added to PsycARTICLES this fall, effectively doubling the size
of the collection and creating the world's largest full-text database in
psychology.

PsycARTICLES currently extends to 1985. The PsycARTICLES
1894-1984 archive, which APA announced at the American Library
Association 2005 Annual Conference, will be available to all
PsycARTICLES licensees at no additional charge over the regular
published annual data fees for PsycARTICLES in effect at the time of
initial licensing or renewal.

"From the inception of PsycARTICLES, our goal has been to
provide coverage of each journal to Volume 1, Issue 1," said Linda
Beebe, Senior Director, PsycINFO. "We're excited that we'll soon be able
to offer that coverage to our customers as a free enhancement to the
database. The PsycARTICLES Archive will provide content of immense
historical and research value that is unavailable in any other full-text
collection. And when paired with PsycINFO, users will have the added
value of precise recall of this material from PsycINFO abstracts and
indexing that will be unavailable from any other A&I or federated search
resource."

education-related content is now available on the ERIC Web site at
www.eric.ed.gov. This update includes journal titles and documents
published in 2004 and 2005 from publishers and organizations that
signed new authorization agreements with ERIC this year. Additional
agreements are in progress with previous providers to ERIC and newly
identified sources of high-quality education literature.

This inaugural ERIC update adds more than 100 comprehensively indexed
journals to the database, including titles from publishers such as
Blackwell, Taylor & Francis, Baywood, and other distinguished
publishers of education journals. New to ERIC are more than one dozen
journals not previously indexed in ERIC, and 110 full-text journal
articles. Most of the newly added articles are peer reviewed.
Peer-reviewed materials can now be easily identified by checking the
new "Peer Reviewed" field in the ERIC Search Results. .
In addition to newly indexed journal articles, this first 2005 ERIC
update adds 700 free, full-text documents to the database from a wide
variety of contributing institutions. Examples of organizations
contributing materials to ERIC, in addition to the U.S. Department of
Education, are federal, state, and private entities including: the
Government Accounting Office, Education Commission for the States,
Council of Chief State School Officers, Educational Testing Service,
Success for All Foundation, and the Southern Regional Education Board,
among others.
ERIC is recognized for its wealth of grey literature resources that are
not included in other major databases. Materials include research
reports, conference papers, dissertations, literature reviews, and
other documents in education. This initial update includes the
following highlights:

More than 250 U.S. Department of Education reports, including reports
produced by the National Center for Education Statistics and the
regional educational laboratories

Institute of Education Sciences What Works Clearinghouse reports

More than 160 documents submitted by state agencies in more than 15
states

The ERIC database will continue to be updated with newly acquired
materials.
Visit the News section of the ERIC Web site at www.eric.ed.gov for
quick links to information on new content, lists of ERIC journals, and
other recent enhancements. Notable new features include improvements
to the ERIC search function, and Journals Indexed in ERIC. In
addition to these features, more enhancements are under development
and will be announced this summer in the ERIC Web site's News section.

This news announcement was prepared by the Communications Team of the
ERIC Project. Future announcements will be sent on a periodic basis
to keep you informed of noteworthy events and enhancements.

NetLibrary July eBook of the Month

National Pastime: How Americans Play Baseball and the Rest of the World Plays Soccer

When British soldiers in Afghanistan and Southern Iraq wanted to befriend the locals, they played a soccer match. On Christmas Day, 1914, British and
German soldiers in the First World War did the same thing. For nearly 100 years soccer has united a divided world with only one notable exception—the
United States.

Baseball is America's game, a national obsession that remains largely North American. Soccer is the world's game, a sport over which no nation can
claim ownership. In July's eBook of the Month, authors Stefan Szymanski and Andrew Zimbalist offer the first in-depth, cross-cultural comparison of
these two great sporting passions and show how much the traditions of each game reveal about the societies and economies that spawned them. By
tracing the evolution of both sports, Szymanski and Zimbalist identify some of the problems each faces, and how each sport can look to the other for
solutions.

Designed to increase awareness of online resources and highlight the value of your eBook collection, July's eBook of the Month is provided through
the generous support of Brookings Institution Press. Don't miss this unique opportunity to showcase your NetLibrary collection by sharing this
engaging and entertaining look at the world of sports business.
