HighWire Press, a not-for-profit division of Stanford University Libraries, has announced a strategic partnership with Tizra to extend ebook functionality and integration to the HighWire Open Platform.
Combining an intuitive web control panel with uniquely integrated content remixing, ecommerce, SEO and mobile web capabilities, Tizra empowers content owners to respond quickly to market feedback and build brands that will hold up over the long haul. With the addition of Tizra's ebook reader features, HighWire publishers can now blend books alongside their e-journals, offering an integrated cross-content solution that falls into the reader's natural workflow.
With help from Tizra, HighWire's expanded ebook solution offers easy-to-read display, chapter navigation and page views, focusing on the page-turning experience; social sharing options (Twitter, Facebook, bookmarking) at the page level; increased discoverability through search engine optimisation and the ability to provide readers with cross-content recommendations; mobile optimisation using responsive and adaptive design to support access and viewing on smartphones and tablets; and intuitive tools available to editorial staff giving them direct control over content updates.
