The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has announced improved search and new online features for its flagship publication Research Library Issues: A Bimonthly Report from ARL, CNI, and SPARC (RLI). A freely available online-only publication, RLI includes articles on the major issues that research libraries face in meeting the academic and research needs of the diverse communities they serve.
Recent issues of RLI are now available on a test basis through Tizra Publisher, a Web-based publishing platform. The system’s features include full-text search; page-at-a-time linking; and compatibility with mobile devices. The software also allows readers to zoom in if text is too small, and download full articles for printing or offline viewing via links available on every page. The new Test Site for Research Library Issues is freely available at http://publications.arl.org.
This service is introduced by ARL as a test to gauge user response and determine if such a platform could be used to distribute other ARL publications. Comments on the new platform should be directed to pubs@arl.org.
