Infotrieve launches social media and collaboration tools for Mobile Library
- 30 May 2011

e-content business service solutions provider Infotrieve, Inc., US, has introduced a suite of fully secure social media and collaboration tools for its Mobile Library. It has added capabilities such as virtual workgroups, sharing and collaboration, annotating, rating and reviewing, along with the ability to follow colleagues to its cloud-based e-content access and management software.

Mobile Library provides secure anywhere, anytime access to enterprise e-content from a PC, Mac or iPad, and automatically synchronises individual workspaces across platforms. The new social functionality allows private virtual work groups to be created based on common interests, functional areas or project teams. Members of the groups can follow one another's progress, share and collaborate on documents and other work products, provide input and receive feedback through annotating, commenting, rating and reviewing.

Abstracts, reviews, annotations, and the workgroup conversation are full-text searchable with relevancy ranking and hit highlighting, and are automatically organised and cross-referenced based on user-defined tags. To ensure up-to-the-minute awareness, automatic alerts are delivered when relevant content is purchased or flagged by a work group member, and can be shared within work groups. Mobile Library also supports other forms of discovery including personalised recommendations, custom RSS feeds, browsing and sophisticated searching.

Mobile Library was initially launched in September 2010 as an easy-to-use, fully-secure, anywhere, anytime gateway to corporate licensed and pay-per-view content, as well as the one of the world's largest collections of scientific, technical and medical content.
