December 31, 2000 TDNet, the leading supplier of electronic journals management solutions, today announced the release of the new TDNet Direct Article Linking Application.

This is an important improvement to the TDNet already existing features of linking to:

• The Appropriate Article Location - where TDNet was the first to link into custom locations: wherever the journal is hosted for any particular customer, TDNet links to that location.
• Print holdings catalogs - where TDNet, not only links automatically to the full view records, but keeps doing so for each title added.

With the new Direct Article Linking, TDNet now gradually adds titles to the system, which will be linked not only at the journal title level, but will lead from the article title, directly into the full text articles.

Upon launching, new records from over 1500 titles from approximately 70 publishers (mainly academic) are already linked at the Direct Article level. TDNet gradually adds titles and more publishers to the TDNet Direct Article Linking collection.

Among the publishers directly linked already :

• Springer Verlag
• Karger
• Carfax Publishing
• Institute of Chemical Engineers
• Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers
• American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics
• Mary Ann Liebert, Inc
• MIT Press
• Brill Academic Publishers
• Routledge
• The Royal Society
• and many more

The Direct Article Linking is operational from all article records available on the TDNet system:

• Retrospective Searches Records
• Local View Records
• Emailed Alerts
