Ex Libris announces bX Web 2.0

Ex Libris™ Group announced a new Web 2.0 recommender service. Ex Libris bXwill provide library users with article-level recommendations based on collective usage data amassed from research communities around the world. bX is the result of years of collaboration and research into advanced scholarly recommender systems. The bX service derives its recommendations from the analysis of tens of millions of transactions performed by users from research institutions worldwide and captured through a large-scale aggregation of link resolver usage logs. Based on open interoperability standards such as OpenURL and OAI-PMH, bX can be tightly integrated into a library’s existing user environment.
