The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has announced a partnership with publishing-specific software solutions provider Publishing Technology, UK, to redevelop and extend its Digital Library, the central access point for the organisation's full text content online.
The new website, to be developed on Publishing Technology's pub2web platform, will be home to IET journal, eBook, magazine and conference content dating as far back as 1872 and integrating more than 185,000 articles. The platform will eventually also incorporate access to IET.tv and its archive of 3,500 videos, all utilising pub2web's innovative data storage solution, the Metastore.
The revamped Digital Library will offer the academic and corporate research audiences and the IET's 150,000-plus international membership an improved, user-friendly online experience, more efficient discoverability and search capabilities driven by pub2web's unique semantic technology and integration of IET's taxonomy. The IET will benefit from having a single aggregated platform for all of their content underpinned by industry-standard architecture that is both flexible and highly interoperable, providing efficient processes and workflow between core systems as well as safe-guarding IET's future integration needs.
