  1. Working with Libraries Partnerships & Collaborations

  2. Collaborative Projects • C18th Parliamentary Papers digitised from CUL hard copies now delivered alongside C19th and C20th content by ProQuest and BOPCRIS*. • Partnerships with major libraries to create Early European Books collection. • Development of new ProQuest Platform with input from librarians. Platform designed to showcase value of content and tools provided by the library to users. • ProQuest is also working with archives and other bodies to digitise content and bring collections to researchers. [*British Official Publications Collaborative Reader Information Service]

  3. Early European Books Applying the highest standards of digitisation to a wealth of early printed materials, inc. annotations by Gallileo. Produced in partnership with European libraries. Content already available from: • Royal Library, Copenhagen • BibliotecaNazionaleCentraledi Firenze

  4. New Platform – Built for Libraries • Platform developed with a range of library personas in mind, as well as students and researchers. • Powerful customisation tools – libraries can organise and group databases, creating and re-naming subject areas within the platform. • Tested ahead of launch with partner libraries – a source of valuable feedback. • More advanced ProQuest Administrator Module than ever before – allowing libraries to configure a wide range of settings.

  5. New Tools – ‘Summon’ Discovery Service • Recognised tendency of end-users to head for simple, easy-to-use (yet not authoritative) search tools (e.g. Google). • Goal was to build a similar experience, but with greater power and depth – indexes that part of the dark web represented within the library. • Library brand is foremost and it is key to Summon that users understand the library is providing this service to users.
