Serials Solutions Introduces Summon® Spotlighting
Thumbnail images highlight local collections, images and archival material
in the Summon discovery service

Seattle, WA – January 24, 2013 – Summon Spotlighting, a new feature of
the Summon discovery service, provides dynamic display options for
specialized content types. Image Spotlighting dramatically improves
discoverability of libraries’ most unique and valued collections.
Libraries benefit from increased exposure and use of their local
collections, image content and archival materials – and researchers are
able to discover, view and navigate this high value content in an
experience similar to Open Web search engines.

The unique architecture of the Summon unified index allows for hundreds
of digital collections contributed by Summon customers to be made
available for discovery by patrons at any library with the Summon
service. Exposure to locally curated image content from disparate
special collections and repositories increases significantly – and
researchers benefit from easy access to highly relevant and freely
available image content beyond what is available at their own library.

“We are pleased to be able to provide libraries with opportunities to
make their highly valued repositories and local collections more
discoverable,” said John Law, vice president, discovery service, Serials
Solutions, a ProQuest business. “Researchers around the world will
benefit from the ability to more easily discover image content available
in the hundreds of digital collections and repositories curated by
members of the Summon community.”

With Image Spotlighting, relevant thumbnail images display dynamically
in search results from all types of image collections and repositories
(local, open access, commercial, non-profit) such as collections
contributed by Summon customers, LUNA Commons, and mutual customers of
the Summon service and Bridgeman Education or the ARTStor Digital
Library. Convenient links guide users to view more images, as well as
link directly to the content in the native repository or collection.

The Summon Service
Used by more than 500 libraries in more than 40 countries, the Summon
service is the first and only discovery service based on a unified index
of content, leveraging its unique “match and merge” technology to
combine rich metadata and full text from multiple sources to ultimately
make items more discoverable. In just three years, the Summon unified
index has grown from 200 million items to more than one billion items –
with the vast majority of article and book content full-text searchable.
Proven to increase usage of library resources, the Summon service
consistently meets user expectations by delivering innovative new
features for enhancing discovery.

Subject: Portland Press Preserves e-journal content with PORTICO AND the
CLOCKSS Archive
From: Lindsey Button <Lindsey.Button@portlandpress.com>

PRESS RELEASE

Immediate Release

Portland Press Preserves e-journal content with PORTICO AND the CLOCKSS
Archive

LONDON - JANUARY 28, 2013 - Portland Press Limited is pleased to
announce that it has signed agreements with both CLOCKSS (Controlled
LOCKSS - Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) and Portico to ensure its
e-journal content is deposited securely within these trusted
dark-archives and preserved for future generations.

Caroline Black, Managing Director of Portland Press, said: "It is
important as a non-profit publisher that we can offer perpetual access
to the research submitted to us through our journals and we are
committed to ensuring the long-term accessibility of the research
entrusted to our titles. Both the CLOCKSS and PORTICO initiatives enable
us to guarantee the conservation of this content so that it can be
securely archived and made widely available through academic
institutions and recognized portals."

The stability offered by these systems provides assurance to the
scholarly community and publishers alike, such that any content
delivered by Portland Press Limited will be maintained within the
archives until such time as it becomes 'orphaned' by the publisher. Such
an event is known as a 'trigger event'. In the event of a disaster that
would normally prevent the delivery of the content from the publisher
themselves, these archives ensure that access to the journals is maintained.

This initiative by Portland Press Limited should also help to facilitate
a transition for libraries and institutions to online-only access,
enabling librarians to re-purpose print budgets to other innovative
e-resources.

Collective management of the dark archives by institutions and
publishers alike ensures that no content is controlled by any one single
entity and in an academic world where 'content is king', accessibility
to research papers and archived research remains a top priority for
Portland Press Limited.

Subject: WALDO Selects Books at JSTOR for E-book Purchases and
Demand-Driven Acquisition Program
From: Sarah Glasser <Sarah.Glasser@ithaka.org>
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:21:41 -0500

JSTOR and WALDO (the Westchester Academic Library Directors
Organization) are pleased to announce an agreement that enables WALDO
member libraries to participate in the Books at JSTOR through both
outright book purchases as well as a demand-driven acquisition (DDA)
program.

WALDO – the membership organization that counts more than 700 academic
libraries amongst its members – and JSTOR will provide institutions with
the ability to purchase books as individual titles, as well as to
provide seamless access to titles through the demand-driven acquisition
model.

Through the agreement, WALDO members are able to individually select
books and create DDA approval plans with the Books at JSTOR program,
which includes titles from the university presses of Columbia, Cornell,
Penn State, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, and many others. Participating
libraries will have access to a wide range of scholarly monographs, with
purchases triggered only for those books with real usage, and WALDO will
facilitate those purchases for its members.

Robert Karen, Director of Procurement Services for WALDO said of the new
program, “Finally WALDO can offer our members flexible acquisition
options for e-books combined with volume discounts. As the new program
rolls out, WALDO members can opt to move forward with a DDA program,
pick and mix, or predefined collections. The choice is made by the
individual library and not defined by the consortium. Adding e-books to
the JSTOR platform is just a natural evolution for libraries and it will
deliver an even greater return on investment for our membership."

Books at JSTOR, which launched in November, currently features more than
15,000 books from 30 publishers. Books are deeply integrated with the
1,900 current and archival journals on JSTOR. All content is
cross-searchable, and books are linked from millions of book reviews and
from hundreds of thousands of book citations within the journal literature.

About JSTOR

JSTOR is a digital library of more than 1,900 academic journals, 15,000
books, and 2 million primary source objects. JSTOR helps people
discover, use, and build upon a wide range of content through a powerful
research and teaching platform, and preserves this content for future
generations. JSTOR is part of ITHAKA, a not-for-profit organization that
also includes Ithaka S+R and Portico. For more information, please visit

Subject: Content Announcement: Serials Solutions Summon Service Slated
to Index SciELO E-Book Titles
From: "Ahron, Brianna" <Brianna.Ahron@serialssolutions.com>

Serials Solutions Summon Service Slated to Index SciELO E-Book Titles
January 31, 2013

Serials Solutions®, a ProQuest® business, is working with Scientific
Electronic Library Online (SciELO) to index its e-book collection in the
Summon® discovery service. Recognizing that much scholarly work in the
humanities and social sciences is published in book form rather than in
periodicals, SciELO introduced this collection as a parallel to its
widely-accessed collection of scientific academic journals. The
collection is a mix of open access and commercial e-books from major
academic publishers in Brazil and Latin America.

The majority of titles are selected by a peer-review process and are
devoted to social sciences and humanities, including fields such as
architecture, art, economics, education, geography, history,
linguistics, literature, media, music, performing arts, philosophy,
political science and sociology. The initial collection is approximately
250 books and is expected to increase by 500-1000 more books each year.

SciELO’s objective is to maximize the use, visibility, accessibility and
impact of the work of Latin American scholars. With the addition of
these resources in the Summon service, the works will be more widely
available to a worldwide audience.

Used by more than 500 libraries in more than 40 countries, the Summon
service is the first and only discovery service based on a unified index
of content. Proven to increase usage of library resources, the Summon
service consistently meets user expectations by delivering innovative
new features for enhancing discovery.
