Non-profit copyright licensing solutions provider Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), US, has announced that application vendors QUOSA and TDNet have integrated CCC's rights advisory and management tool, Rightsphere, directly into their knowledge management applications. By integrating Rightsphere, users of these applications can instantly check the rights status of content against their rights database in Rightsphere without having to leave their content management workflow.
Launched in 2006, the web-based Rightsphere application allows librarians, researchers and other information professionals to aggregate all of their company's content rights at a very granular level. It also provides knowledge workers with instant answers regarding their rights to use and share specific content. Rightsphere has been adopted by various players in the pharmaceutical, aerospace and consumer goods industries and is being integrated into applications from application vendors in those markets.
US-based Cubist Pharmaceuticals is among the first customers to implement a complete literature workflow solution, based on its QUOSA literature management platform integrated with Rightsphere. In addition, Cubist uses Reprints Desk for document delivery, which also includes Rightsphere integration.
