FIZ Karlsruhe improves FIZ AutoDoc to handle full-text supply with a minimum of administrative and billing effort / New partnerships extend delivery portfolio / to be demonstrated at the Online Information exhibition in London, Dec 2-4, 2008
Karlsruhe/London, November 2008 - High priority to user friendly features is the motto of FIZ Karlsruhe when it comes to improvements of FIZ AutoDoc. In 2008, the re-designed full text brokerage system offers customers enlarged access to scientific publications, research reports, patent documents, and company information as well as better and clearly structured assistance for navigation and administration (http://www.fiz-karlsruhe.de/fiz_autodoc.html). FIZ AutoDoc can be accessed through a web portal, corporate intranets or after a search in STN International's databases via the STN Full-Text Solution.
New partnerships extend the delivery portfolio: the American Chemical Society (ACS) supplies ACS journal articles from 1996 to date. The ETH Zürich, the Elsevier publishing group, and Thieme Verlag with its eFirst publications add to the online ordering of scientific literature from all over the world. Thanks to its user-friendly DRM protection, the new partner Reprints Desk, Inc. allows for the opening of DRM protected PDF documents without additional plug-ins.
User guidance like ISSN detection and "best match" lists provides easy access to the full-text documents. The interactive order forms of FIZ AutoDoc support various cost center assignment options, for example customer -pecific statistics and internal billing. PDF has been re-established as the default delivery format to provide more comfortable procurement. For delivery in PDF the format "IMMEDIATE" offers a new, accelerated access via publishers.
In its 11th year, FIZ AutoDoc has become a professional Workflow Management System for full-text brokerage fully capable of being integrated into administrative software environments. At the Online Information exhibition in London, Dec 2-4, 2008, the improved version will be demonstrated by FIZ Karlsruhe at the stand of STN International, no. 512, Grand Hall.
