Ingenta…in Front
June 7th, 2004From an IT newsbreak from BQ:
“Early this autumn as the academic year starts for its many clients, Ingenta, Inc., the online distributor of academic journal literature and document delivery service, will replace its existing online research interfaces—http://www.ingenta.com and http://www.ingentaselect.com—with IngentaConnect. The new interface will provide more reliability and scalability to handle rapid expansion of usage, which runs as high as 8 million user sessions a month on the two existing services. It will also support more access and authentication rules for the different business models used by Ingenta’s over 260 publishers. The newly designed architecture can also handle more content types, including books, reports, and statistics, from one starting point for all Ingenta-driven services. New features will be phased in throughout the summer.”
Pretty cool, but check this out:
“New features scheduled for phasing in throughout the summer include enhanced personalization. For example, users will have the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds“
Hip Hip Hooray. Finally, a fee-based content provider for libraries providing RSS Feeds for their clientele. Before we go crazy here, I’d love to see exactly what they are offering. Anyone at Ingenta (who may read this) want to give me a test run, or any more information?
