Digital content services provider Ingram Digital, US, has announced that academic publisher University of California Press (UC Press) has selected its CoreSource platform to archive, manage and distribute its digital assets. Ingram Digital, an Ingram content company, delivers solutions for digital content management, hosting and distribution.
In addition to providing archiving and distribution services on its CoreSource platform, Ingram Digital will assist the publisher with digitisation of its non-digital titles. CoreSource is claimed to be the industry's most robust digital warehouse. The platform ensures that digital content is properly archived, file integrity protected, and versions controlled. It functions as a hub from which the publisher controls the delivery of digital files, metadata, and associated promotional materials to all its partners. UC Press will also be able to leverage print-on-demand, offered through Ingram's Lightning Source business, to further monetise its digital assets. UC Press has about 4,000 titles in print and adds, on average, 200 new titles a year.
Ingram offers university presses a full suite of services created to help them capitalise on emerging digital opportunities in a safe, cost-effective way. Earlier this month, RPS Publishing, the publishing arm of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, announced an agreement with MyiLibrary to distribute its pharmacy publications via the MyiLibrary Ebook platform. An Ingram Digital Group company, MyiLibrary specialises in the production of technology solutions for the distribution and hosting of electronic books, journals and other content. It provides e-Book titles from academic, commercial, and governmental publishers throughout the world. Stockley's Drug Interactions, Martindale's Drugs Restricted in Sport and Clarke's Analytical Forensic Toxicology are amongst the growing list of available titles.
