Manchester Information & Associated Services (MIMAS), in association with the British Library and the Joint Information Systems Committee of the UK Higher Education Funding Councils (JISC), have launched the ZETOC service.

ZETOC provides access to the British Library's Electronic Table of Contents database of over 15 million article titles derived from the 20,000 most important research journals in the world, dating back to 1993. It is updated daily with approximately 10,000 new additions. The database includes a unique collection of over 100,000 conference papers, indexed to title level.

ZETOC is available via a Web interface at http//zetoc.mimas.ac.uk and as a Z39.50 target, allowing searching via EndNote, Bookwhere, etc. – see the Web site for more details. The ZETOC database may be accessed by members of a UK Higher or Further Education institution. A list of eligible HE and FE institutions is available on the JISC Web site. ZETOC is not initially available to the Research Councils, but discussions with the JISC are ongoing.

The British Library is funding the development of the service through to March 2001; thereafter, JISC have agreed to fund the running of the service until at least August 2003.
