Ex Libris is in beta with a new e-serials service called bX:
“a first-of-its-kind service to provide library users with article-level recommendations based on collective usage data amassed from research communities around the world.”
The new application, which harvests usage data from Ex Libris’ link resolver SFX software, is in testing in sixteen institutions worldwide.
It’s very exciting that usage data will work directly to help researchers discover sources in addition to its use in collection development planning.
