In addition to Sage, ingenta has signed eight new publisher offerings in the past 6 months, including Bowker-Saur, Henry Stewart, and Bentham Press. The partnerships give enterprise customers a single desktop for external business content and internal business applications. Just as a consumer portal organizes in logical categories links to information from different Web sites, the Plumtree Corporate Portal creates links to content on the corporate network and the Internet, assembling a logical view of information from disparate systems. Plumtree s content partners embedded their services in the Plumtree Corporate Portal as Plumtree Portal Gadgets, which are plug-in modules that embed components of applications and interactive Internet services in a personalized portal page. Each partner developed a separate suite of gadgets.
Pricing is based on the standard pricing models of the content partners.
CORC lets librarians work together to target the best Web resources available that fit local needs, minimizing duplication of effort and maximizing knowledge sharing across libraries from around the world. According to OCLC, CORC gives libraries the ability to make local resources available to the world and to make quality global resources available to local library users. CORC offers a toolkit, based on technology developed at OCLC, that supports automated record creation, authority control, URL maintenance, and pathfinder creation. A special feature of the WebDewey service is its inclusion of selected Library of Congress subject headings linked to the LC authority files that have been intellectually mapped to Dewey numbers by the DDC editors and statistically mapped to Dewey numbers in OCLC s WorldCat database.
