IPSWICH, Mass. — December 15, 2016 — EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) will be adding two new resources, BIOSIS Previews™ and Zoological Record™, to the EBSCOhost® platform.

Zoological Record is an index of zoological literature, and is the world's oldest continuing database of animal biology. The broad scope of content ranges from biodiversity and the environment to taxonomy and veterinary sciences and coverage extends back to 1864.

Head of Research and Discovery at Clarivate Analytics Joelle Masciulli says, “We are excited to make this valuable content available to customers through the EBSCOhost platform, joining our long-time partnership with EBSCO for Biological Abstracts and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts. This partnership represents our commitment to serving our customers’ needs and integrating our data into their critical workflows wherever possible.”
