In many ways, I see this sort of development as being a step in the
right direction. I suspect Serials Solutions will be able to
supplement the traditional content of a "next generation" library
catalog with article level metadata using something like Summa. This
has been a goal of XC from the beginning. It gets closer to the ideal
we are all, more or less, striving for -- one stop shopping. Kudos.
To see how this can be done with medically-related open access
content, visit the website of OpenPHI and learn about their
HealthLibrarian. [1]
