PRODUCTS Product news Biotechnology Source
EBSCO Information Services has introduced an information resource for researchers in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. The company says Biotechnology Source provides access to industry- leading, full-text journals from a single platform, and is designed to help companies gain a competitive edge by providing fast access to relevant, current and accurate information. Biotechnology Source’s content includes more than 8,700 full-text journals, including many titles available only through this tool. In addition, current journals are complemented by an extensive backfile.
Biotechnology Source is easily integrated into a company’s workflow for increased visibility and usage, and can conveniently be accessed via mobile devices, according to EBSCO, while providing increased discoverability to reliable information via top industry journals, ensuring that researchers are returning search results of value to their organisations. Joe Tragert, senior director
of product management, said Biotechnology Source helps researchers of all experience levels navigate an increasingly complex landscape of medical and pharmaceutical literature, while surfacing reliable information: ‘Results-oriented organisational researchers and corporate librarians don’t have time for complex and laborious search engines. They want answers and information fast. Biotechnology Source gives researchers immediate, one-click access to full- text primary literature that has been carefully vetted, so they know they can trust it to be reliable and relevant.’

30 Research Information FEBRUARY/MARCH 2016
The National Library of New Zealand has adopted the Ex Libris Alma resource management solution and the Ex Libris Primo discovery and delivery solution, with its Primo Central index of scholarly e-resources. As a result the National Library will deploy a fully integrated platform to manage and expose its vast collections of electronic, print, and digital resources. Primo will also be integrated with the National Library’s installation of the Ex Libris Rosetta digital asset management and preservation system, enabling future generations to access the rich digital heritage of New Zealand.
As development partners for Rosetta, NLNZ has been a close collaborator with Ex Libris. The Library sought to replace its existing Voyager integrated library system with a cloud based, comprehensive platform that would consolidate operations for all library collections and at the same time reduce the technical burden on library staff – enabling them to devote more resources to support users.

Alma, Primo and Primo Central together provide a cloud- hosted, modern, next-generation system designed to meet the Library’s acquisitions, cataloguing, circulation, search, discovery and delivery needs. Moreover, the Ex Libris cloud solutions will complement Rosetta, the Ex Libris digital preservation system already in production at the National Library.’

Quantum Science and Technology
IOP Publishing has launched Quantum Science and Technology, a journal designed to serve the full range of subject disciplines, extending across academia and industry, now engaged with advances in fundamental quantum information science and related quantum-enabled technologies. The journal will be led by founding
editor-in-chief Robert Thew, who is group leader at the University of Geneva’s GAP Quantum Technologies department. Together with IOP Publishing’s journal management team, he is in the process of building an international network of board members, authors and reviewers. Masahide Sasaki, director of the Quantum ICT Laboratory at the Advanced ICT Research
Institute, in Tokyo has already joined as regional editor for Asia.
Thew said: ‘Quantum information is a rapidly expanding, fast-moving, and inherently multidisciplinary field that spans fundamental research to applied science. Quantum Science and Technology brings together the diverse subject communities that are now working on all aspects of quantum information science and quantum- enabled technologies. ‘As editor-in-chief, I am very proud to be involved in launching this journal that will provide an exciting forum highlighting the emergence, progress and impact of a field that looks to define the 21st century.’
