According to the press release, Infotrieve's online portal now provides access to more content, customizable searching, topic alerts, more powerful user-management tools, and a streamlined transaction process. Infotrieve has also announced agreements with EBSCO, H.W. Wilson, Swets Blackwell, and Ex Libris, Inc.One click on the Infotrieve site takes customers to the e-CONTENT collection, a compendium of electronic journals from esteemed global publishers. Infotrieve plans to increase the e-CONTENT collection to approximately 3,000 journals by the end of this year. MEDLINE is also available in updated form on the site, as is PREMED, a database of MEDLINE articles in final peer-review.
