Bodleian Library granted $1.14m to provide better online access to journals

Charles Davis writes “from
The Bodleian:
The Bodleian Library has been awarded a grant of $1.14m by The Andrew
W Mellon Foundation for a new project to provide better online access to
its journals. The EASEL Project, which is to run for four-an-a-half years,
aims to optimise the bibliographic records of the Library’s 37,000 current
serials, as well as of the 74,000 older, non-current titles. This will enable
scholars world-wide to use the Bodleian’s collection more effectively
online. The Bodleian holds the largest collection of printed serials in the
library world”
