One Post About HighWire Press Deserves Another: HighWire's Web Site Gets a Makeover

We just posted about ACRL and Stanford's HighWire Press (HP) announcing a partnership where HP will host several ACRL publications.

SInce we're talking HighWire Press (see the post below this one) it's also worth mentioning that their web site as a new look and feel. Very nicely done, in our view.
HighWire press now hosts nearly 1300 scholarly publications.

From the Announcement (2 pages; PDF):

+ For researchers, all the great search, browse and refinement tools are still available, only now with a condensed `onebox' search option and summary of
tools.

+ For librarians, the portal continues to offer cross publisher account administration tools, onestop COUNTER3compliant usage reports, downloadable A to Z lists of all HighWirehosted publications and useful information about the publications HighWire hosts. Only now, the site is more cleanly organized into relevant sections.
·
+ For publishers, the new portal offers more indepth information on who HighWire is, highlighting its cutting edge technology, unique community, and outstanding service. A password protected area offers publishers currently hosted by HighWire an insider's section, including the HighWire Publishers' Forum, where trends and topics of the day are discussed, access to HighWire Academy training classes, archived publishers' meeting presentations, as well as benchmarking and other crosspublisher studies and tools.

See Also: Lists of Publications and Other Useful Lists:

+ Free full-text content

+ FREE access to developing economies

+ Pay-per-view access

+ List of publications with RSS feeds

+ Publication-specific questions:
(Look up URL, ISSN, frequency, frequency of publications, DOI prefix numbers, subscription links, and much more)

+ Outside the US and Canada
(List of publications with international mirror sites for faster response time.)
