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.

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.

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.

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.
