HighWire Press, a not-for-profit division of Stanford University Libraries, has announced that it will increase its delivery of mobile-optimised sites from 600 to over 900 by the end of 2011. This is seen to expand the opportunities for the community of HighWire affiliated publishers to extend their content and readership in new directions through smartphones and tablets. The move follows the latest release of the company's mobile platform.
The HighWire Open Platform architecture seeks to provide the flexibility needed to deliver mobile sites, mobile apps, mini-sites and other feature-rich options for HighWire-hosted publication sites. Current capabilities in the latest HighWire Mobile release include BlackBerry support, inter-article navigation, mobile advertising, article/issue search, multi-journal interface, and voucher service integration supporting institutional tethering.
At the recent HighWire Publishers' Meeting, held in Washington, D.C., not only did HighWire unveil its new mobile features, it also showcased a series of new products, services and strategic partnership agreements. These include a partnership with TEMIS, a provider of semantic content enrichment solutions. HighWire also unveiled its comprehensive quarterly Product Development Roadmap. The Roadmap, categorised into five themes − Monetisation, Integration, Analytics, User Engagement & Discovery, and Content Enhancements − will allow HighWire‐affiliated publishers to tactically plan for technology updates and direction.
