Dear colleagues, since last week, BASE(www.base-search.net) <http://www.base-search.net/> allows searching for 90 million documents. The metadata are provided by 4.200 repositories, which means that BASE is the second largest academic search engine behind Google Scholar.
For more than 30 million documents BASE can indicate Open Access relying on metadata information provided by repositories. We estimate the overall OA percentage about 60%, OA documents will be boosted in the result lists. Several interfaces provide access to the BASE index for commercial and non-commercial discovery-systems, other search engines, special libraries and others for reuse or new developments. BASE is therefore strengthening the visibility of content provided by repositories. Please find more information on: https://www.base-search.net <https://www.base-search.net/> Follow us: https://twitter.com/BASEsearch Best regards, Dirk Pieper -- ------------------------------------------ Dirk Pieper Bielefeld UL - Deputy Director Universitätsstr. 25, D-33615 Bielefeld E-mail: dirk.pieper at uni-bielefeld.de Tel.: +49 521 106-4010 | Fax: +49 521 106-4052 www.ub.uni-bielefeld.de www.base-search.net ------------------------------------------
