AMSTERDAM, November 15, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical
information products and services, today announced the availability of the
Izmir Institute of Technology Catalog Viewer, the Bilkent University Catalog

institutions in these efforts by creating applications that allow
repositories to become discoverable to a broader audience through SciVerse."

we hoped to encourage within the scientific community when we launched
SciVerse Applications," said Rafael Sidi, Vice President, Application
