The British Library, the national library of the UK, has added FileOpen to its choice of delivery options via its Document Supply Service. FileOpen’s DRM technology will seek to improve accessibility and extend the reach of the British Library’s resources.
According to the British Library, its Document Supply services have been at the heart of the national and international research community for 50 years, enabling users to tap information for the benefit of research. In the digital age, increasing customer demand for electronic delivery, both remotely and immediately, has seen the number of Document Supply users requesting content delivered electronically rise to over one in three.
In an effort to provide customers with greater flexibility when receiving electronic documents, the British Library has teamed up with FileOpen Systems, a provider of Digital Rights Management (DRM) solutions to the information industries. The FileOpen option offers users an alternative to the Library’s existing Adobe Digital Editions platform, enabling them to access copyrighted material in their Adobe PDF Readers without the need to download a new viewing application.
The FileOpen secure delivery option is now available to all Document Supply customers but is currently unavailable via British Library Direct or British Library Direct Plus.
