Google Scholar/BL Direct

Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com) continues to enhance its ability to not only find (discover) scholarly content but also to fetch (access) it. To its existing three routes-the open Web, authorized publisher feeds, and library holdings links-it has now added a connection to The British Library (BL) Direct pay-per-view service (http://direct.bl.uk). Searchers will find a display of access options available with the initial cluster entry in Google Scholar search results, where a “BL Direct” option will appear when appropriate. The British Library launched BL Direct in June 2005 to open up a subset of 9 million articles from 5 years’ worth of approximately 20,000 scientific, technical, medical, business, economics, and law journals.
