The Channel Library Information System was an INTERREG-IV funded project resulting in the development of the ChanneLIS database. This database collects bibliographic information about channel-related literature with an emphasis on “grey literature”. The Web application allows searching for bibliography entries from classical criteria (authors, publishers, publication dates…) but also from more specific criteria such as pre-defined channel geographical areas, taxon names or thesaurus terms. The back end provides functionalities for curating these bibliographical entries after their automated extraction from local databases/files.
We collected 38 answers to the satisfaction survey about the platform services (over 1,200 referenced users). About 42 % of these answers originate from external users.
