Offer Extended Through December 31, 2006. Ancestry.com, the world's largest online family history resource, today announced it is extending free access to the most extensive immigration records collection online through the end of the year. On November 9, the company released the most comprehensive collection of all readily available U.S. passenger list records from 1820 to 1960, providing access to more than 100 million names from the height of U.S. immigration. Ancestry.com originally offered free access to its immigration records through November 30 to celebrate the launch of the passenger list collection. Due to overwhelming response, the company is now extending the offer through the end of 2006.
Note that CiteXplore doesn't merely integrate text, data, and mining tools. It also integrates OA abstracts (even for non-OA articles) with full-text OA copies or versions that may exist in repositories around the web. It doesn't do this for every non-OA article with an OA version somewhere, but it's the first tool I've seen to make a systematic start. This is important because there are far more OA abstracts than OA full-text articles.
