ProQuest affiliate Bowker is expanding the range of services available to users of MyIdentifiers.com by including a link to Digi-Rights Direct, a patented suite of automated rights solutions and services for authors and publishers. This cloud-based service is designed to enable users to optimise their rights so that revenues are maximised and risks from copyright liability issues are minimised.
The link to Digi-Rights Direct is part of Bowker's larger program to identify high-quality providers of key services for authors and small publishers, connecting them through MyIdentifiers.com.
The goal of Digi-Rights Direct is to help authors and publishers achieve effective rights control, providing them with oversight of the rights process, helping them manage budgets, enabling copyright compliance and optimising rights values. A key component of the offering is a self-administered 'Rights Assessment' app that helps publishers identify what rights the author has or may need to obtain from third party licenses and then, develop an action plan to mitigate copyright issues.
MyIdentifiers.com, part of Bowker Identifier Services, provides authors and publishers with the products and services that allow their books to be discovered. As the United States’ official ISBN Agency customer service interface, it is the first stop in publishing and selling books and now includes a growing range of tools to help expand the audiences for authors' works.
