FIZ Karlsruhe — Leibniz-Institute for Information Infrastructure has again enhanced its document delivery service, FIZ AutoDoc. Before ordering a full-text article, customers can already verify the document’s license coverage under the VG WORT Digital Copyright License or other licenses granted by RightsDirect. This new feature was developed together with RightsDirect, a global provider of licensing and content solutions.
The integration with FIZ AutoDoc is available through the DirectPath Application Programming Interface (API) offered by RightsDirect and its parent company Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC).
FIZ AutoDoc, FIZ Karlsruhe’s web-based, automated and copyright-compliant document delivery service, partners with numerous renowned national and international libraries and publishing houses. Scientific journal articles, conference proceedings, and patent documents are mainly made available electronically. Another asset of FIZ AutoDoc is that it can be easily integrated into the customer’s workflow.
