Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine Selects EBSCO Discovery Service

Ipswich, MA (Vocus) October 6, 2010

Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine has selected EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) from EBSCO Publishing. The decision was made to answer key questions that a researcher faces when using a premium content collection from a library such as: Where to start? What's the best resource? How many unique "silos" of information do I need to search? EBSCO Discovery Service is designed to harvest metadata from both internal (library) and external (database vendors) sources, and creates a pre-indexed service of unprecedented size and speedreducing silos and providing everything the researcher needs in one place.

Executive Director of Library & Educational Information Systems at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Etheldra Templeton, says students and faculty want fast, comprehensive searches that will mine the full range of the librarys licensed resources. With discovery, users get a simple, Google-like search of all our quality electronic and print content. The robust metadata assures targeted, relevant search results and the pre-indexing from discovery assures fast retrieval.

Templeton says EDS allows users to take advantage of its collection and find the valuable content only available in a library collection. The library buys high quality, peer-reviewed and vetted information resourcesfar better than what an open Web search will findbut the sheer numbers of collections, vendors, and interfaces pose a problem for users. With EDS, we are able to provide one search box that exposes our collection to the user.

Another important factor for Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine was the availability of a mobile interface with EBSCO Discovery Service. Having mobile access allows the library to provide its growing number of smart phone users with easy access, helping the college serve its users anywhere, anytime.

The Base Index for EBSCO Discovery Service forms the foundation upon which each EDS subscribing library builds out its custom collection. Beginning with the Base Index, each institution extends the reach of EDS by adding appropriate resources including its catalog, institutional repositories, EBSCOhost and other databases, and additional content sources to which it subscribes. It is this combination that allows a single, comprehensive, custom solution for discovering the value of any librarys collection.

The EDS Base Index is comprised of metadata from the worlds foremost information providers. At present, the EDS Base Index represents content from approximately 20,000 providers in addition to metadata from another 70,000 book publishers. Although constantly growing, today the EDS Base Index provides metadata for nearly 50,000 magazines & journals, approximately 825,000 CDs & DVDs, nearly six million books, more than 100 million newspaper articles, more than 20,000 conference proceedings and hundreds of thousands of additional information sources from various source-types.

EBSCO Discovery Service creates a unified, customized index of an institutions information resources, and an easy, yet powerful means of accessing all of that content from a single search boxsearching made even more powerful because of the quality of metadata and depth and breadth of coverage.

Peer-To-Peer Start-up Investing Service MicroVentures Secures FINRA Membership

Austin, TX (Vocus) November 10, 2010

MicroVenture Marketplace Inc., an online peer-to-peer investment service, has obtained its Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) independent Broker/Dealer membership, becoming the first company to utilize membership for online peer-to-peer private placement investments.

This allows us to start accepting investors and companies looking for funding, said Bill Clark, MicroVentures chief executive officer. Whats different about our private financing concept is that we allow investors to invest small amounts in each deal, giving them more flexibility. At the same time, were opening up a whole new avenue of funding for entrepreneurs, startups and small businesses finding it very difficult to raise money in this harsh economic climate.

Our model allows sophisticated and accredited investors to review and participate in opportunities they might never have heard of, seen or had the means to participate in, he added.

Based in Austin, TX and founded by Clark, MicroVentures helps entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses seeking $ 150,000 to $ 1 million find sophisticated and accredited investors, who can invest as little as $ 250 to $ 5,000 per investment, through its online service.

As principal and chief executive of MicroVentures, Clark obtained Series 7 General Securities Representative, Series 24 General Securities Principal, Series 63 Uniform Securities Agent and Series 79 Limited Representative Investment Banking licenses, all of which allow the company to offer this new way of small business funding.

How does MicroVentures work? Businesses interested in the MicroVentures funding service complete an application, submit a business plan and pay a $ 100 fee. MicroVentures then reviews the plan, using a variety of success criteria such as suitable risk, likelihood of profitability, and other key due diligence factors. Following the detailed review, which carries a $ 250 fee, suitable companies are listed on MicroVentures investment / offering platform.

Interested investors complete a questionnaire to determine if MicroVentures private offering investments are suitable for them based upon several guidelines. Once accepted, investors have the opportunity to evaluate and invest in MicroVentures exclusive list of private offerings at amounts typically smaller than those made by venture capitalists or angel investors.
