Après l’annonce soudaine de retrait de Web of Science des solutions discovery, on apprend aujourd’hui que la base de données de Thomson Reuters restera bien dans Primo Central Index et ce, suite à un nouvel accord conclu avec Ex Libris :

Dear Colleagues,

In continuation to my message below, I’m happy to report that Ex Libris has now reached an agreement with Thomson Reuters to continue to provide the Web of Science content within Primo Central for the benefit of mutual customers. Thomson Reuters and Ex Libris recognize the value libraries receive from the integration of Web of Science into Primo Central and we are happy to see this relationship continue.

The Primo community voice was evidently heard by Thomson Reuters, and we encourage you to continue pursuing similar campaigns with other content providers still resisting to participate in Primo Central.

We will be sending this message also to our Primo Central customer list, as we acknowledge that not all subscribe to the Primo listserv. We apologize in advance for any cross-posting.

As before, if you have any comments or additional questions, please feel free to contact me at [OMIS].

Kind regards,

À côté de cette nouvelle, il convient de souligner qu’EBSCO et Serials Solutions viennent également de confirmer que Web of SCience resterait également dans EDS et Summon :

We have confirmed with Thomson Reuters that EBSCO Discovery Service will continue to provide access to Web of Science for mutual customers.

We have confirmed with Thomson Reuters that the Summon service will continue to provide Web of Science content to mutual subscribers.

Bien entendu, ces annonces ne précisent pas la durée des accords…. Un prochain épisode en perspective ?
