I recently came across the following summation: $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\zeta(2+2n)x^{2n}=\frac{1-\pi x\cot(\pi x)}{2x^2},$$ where $\zeta$ is the Riemann zeta function. Wolfram MathWorld cites Bailey et. al. 2006, but I can't seem to find that source in the references. Does anybody know where this reference is located (or any other place to find the evaluation of this sum)?

In this MSE question the OP derives to a very similar expression $$x\cot x = 1-2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\zeta(2n)\frac{x^{2n}}{\pi^{2n}}.$$ To get to this result he starts with the Weiertrass product of the sine. So, how can we get from this expression to yours? First of all we can bring the $1$ as well as the $-2$ to the left hand side. $$\frac{1-x\cot x}{2} = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\zeta(2n)\frac{x^{2n}}{\pi^{2n}}.$$ Now substitute $x\to\pi x$. This yields $$\frac{1-\pi x\cot \pi x}{2} =\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\zeta(2n)\frac{(\pi x)^{2n}}{\pi^{2n}}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\zeta(2n)x^{2n}.$$
Start from $n=0$ instead from $n=1$, by writing every $n$ as $n+1$. $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\zeta(2n)x^{2n}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\zeta(2(n+1))x^{2(n+1)} =x^2\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\zeta(2n+2)x^{2n}.$$ Remember what the sum was equal to and divide both sides by $x^2$ $${\frac{1-\pi x\cot \pi x}{2x^2} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\zeta(2n+2)x^{2n}}.$$
