Swets Embarks on Document Delivery Partnership with INIST-CNRS

Swets Information Services announced today that it has formed an integral
new partnership with INIST, the Institute of Scientific and Technical
Information of CNRS, the leading French integrated scientific information
center. INIST's document delivery services will be integrated into
SwetsWise, Swets' online service for the procurement, access and
management of subscriptions and online information.

The inclusion of INIST's document delivery services in SwetsWise ensures
that scientists benefit from a single interface to a whole new range of
French language scientific and technical resources in international basic
and applied research (STM as well as SHS documents). INIST will join the
ranks of other major document delivery services (The British Library,
Infotrieve, CISTI, and FIZAUTODOC) currently provided in SwetsWise. The
partnership with INIST is part of Swets' far-reaching drive to reduce the
complexity and expense involved in e-journal management.

"This partnership is part of the core mission of the institute: to
facilitate access to scientific and technical information," declared
Raymond Duval, Director of INIST-CNRS.

"We are confident that the INIST-Swets collaboration will provide STM
professionals with a valuable new offering in the French market," stated
John Martin, Swets' Chief Commercial Officer, "Swets is committed to
providing our customers with maximum localization and content
accessibility."

INIST-CNRS

As the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information, INIST is part of
the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), a public
basic-research organization that defines its mission as producing
knowledge and making it available to society. INIST's unique and
comprehensive document holdings cover the core international scientific
and technical literature and supplies over 600,000 copies of documents a
year. For more information on INIST-CNRS' services, please go to:
