Future Changes to LexisNexis

You may see news stories in next few days about the expanded alliance
between LexisNexis and EDGAR Online, Inc. For LexisNexis subscribers in
the corporate, government, and legal sectors, this will result in
expanded coverage of SEC filings and related materials, as well as
enhanced features such as hyperlinks between documents. While these
improvements will not appear in the current LexisNexis Academic service,
they will be included in the Summer 2007 release of the new LexisNexis
Academic. This is an excellent example of how the decision to move
LexisNexis Academic onto the same platform as the Nexis service will
allow academic researchers to benefit from product and content
enhancements developed for the corporate market.

For more information about the EDGAR enhancements, please see our press
release, which is posted at

August eBook of the Month

Blacked Out: Government Secrecy in the Information Age

With the recent revelations about the Bush administration's domestic surveillance programs, the issue of what governments can and cannot do to keep
secrets has been thrust directly into the spotlight. The August eBook of the Month, Blacked Out: Government Secrecy in the Information Age (Cambridge
University Press, April 2006), directly addresses the issue of government transparency during this age of global terrorism threats.

Written by Alasdair Roberts, a prominent lawyer, public policy expert, and international authority on transparency in government, Blacked Out:
Government Secrecy in the Information Age offers a comprehensive look at the global efforts to restrict secrecy and provides readers with a clearly
written guide to those areas where the battle is most intense. Drawing on cases from many different countries, Blacked Out powerfully illustrates why
transparency matters and why the struggle for openness is so difficult.

Designed to increase awareness of online resources and highlight the value of your eBook collection, the August eBook of the Month is provided
through the generous support of Cambridge University Press. Don't miss this opportunity to showcase your NetLibrary collection by sharing this
engaging and timely analysis of government secrecy. Learn more at:

ACLS New Electronic Titles

The ACLS History E-Book Project (HEB) and Rutgers University Press are pleased to
announce the cooperative publication of two new electronic titles that bring sound and
video into the electronic monograph. Through HEB the Press has issued e-versions of Fred
Nadis, "Wonder Shows: Science, Religion, and Magic on the American Stage"
(http://ets.umdl.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=acls;cc=acls;idno=heb90024.0001.001;view=toc), and Krystyn Moon, "Yellowface: Creating the Chinese in American Popular Music, 1850s-1920s" (http://ets.umdl.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=acls;cc=acls;idno=heb90023.0001.001;view=toc). The first incorporates several short films that document the American fascination with the wonders of science and technology. The second uses a series of complete musical performances that accompany the sheet music and analysis. Both titles include standard HEB features such as complete cross-searchability, robust XML text and annotation, enhanced image handling, related historiography and online reviews that create an interoperable network of scholarship and its
analysis.

For a list of HEB's open-source XML tools and features see
http://www.historyebook.org/xml-features.html
Subscribers to HEB may access these complete e-books along with 1300 other titles
currently in the collection.

According to HEB project directors Eileen Gardiner and Ron Musto, "Rutgers' achievement
in this regard demonstrates how a university press, working collaboratively, can
incorporate even the most robust electronic features into a standard and predictable
workflow. ACLS congratulates Press Director Marlie Wasserman and her staff for this
breakthrough. We also thank the Scholarly Publishing Office at the University of Michigan
Library for its collaboration on the R&D for these titles."

According to Wasserman, "Thanks to hard work by authors, the Press staff, and ACLS, as
well as innovative technology, readers can now experience our books with imaginative and
captivating enhancements we once never thought possible."

ARTstor News

Enhancements to the Digital Library

We are pleased to announce that later this month we will be releasing several
enhancements to the ARTstor Digital Library. Metadata improvements will make it possible
to discover ARTstor content in new ways and to create more refined and efficient
searches. Additional enhancements will provide easier ways to navigate and organize
search results. Some highlights are explained below.

  * Cross-collection browsing. Users will be able to browse across all
    collections in the Digital Library by geography and
    classification. These new options will be available from the
    Welcome Page and offer new ways of discovering ARTstor content.
  * Advanced search. The new advanced search will allow users to
    create more specific queries that result in more accurate search
    results. The advanced search will allow users to refine a search
    by date or a date range, and to choose to search within specific
    collections, specific geographic areas, and within object
    classifications.
  * Sorting by date. Users will have the new option to sort search
    results by date, in addition to existing sorts by creator or title
    of the works.

We will also introduce changes to an expanded Personal Collections.

  * Audio file upload. Instructor-level users will have the ability to
    upload audio files (MP3) to their Personal Collections.

We will send an additional announcement detailing the changes when these enhancements are
released.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


 New Version of the Offline Image Viewer

A new release of the ARTstor Offline Image Viewer (version 2.6) will be released shortly
after the enhancements to the Digital Library. The newest version of the OIV will contain
additional features and enhanced functionality that are not available in previous
versions of the software. Many of the new features are a direct result of user feedback
and recommendations.

In addition to the functionality of previous versions, the new release of the Offline
Image Viewer will include the following new features:

  * Users will be able to import PowerPoint presentations directly
    into the OIV, effectively translating PowerPoint presentations
    into OIV presentations.
  * Before importing an Image Group from ARTstor into the OIV, users
    will see a preview of each image contained in that group.
  * The OIV will offer more templates from which to choose when
    creating slide presentations.
  * New functionality for undo/redo will be added.
  * The OIV 2.6 will be compatible with all new Mac computers with the
    Intel Core Duo processor.
  * Instructor-level users will be able to upload both local images
    and OIV presentations from the OIV to their Personal Collections
    in ARTstor.

We will send an announcement as soon as the OIV 2.6 is available for download.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


 ARTstor Releasing OIV Basic

In mid-August, ARTstor will release a freeware version of the OIV software, OIV Basic.
Users at non-participating institutions that wish to use the OIV for creating and
presenting image-based presentations using local content will be able to download and use
OIV Basic. OIV Basic will have all the functionality of the full OIV including importing
local images, zooming into images during presentation modes, creating slides from images,
and printing, but will not allow users to download high-resolution ARTstor images. OIV
Basic will be available for download from ARTstor's public website. We will send an
announcement when it is available for download.

PROJECT MUSE IMPLEMENTS RSS FEEDS

Project MUSE is very pleased to announce the implementation of RSS feeds for all journals in MUSE. The RSS feed is an alert tool that provides users with instant notification about news, updates and additions to titles within the MUSE collection. The RSS feeds complement our e-mail journal alert service. Both offer students, librarians, researchers and faculty valuable tools for staying current with information about their favorite titles from the over 300 journals in the MUSE collection. The new RSS feed for Latest Issues enables users to easily survey the contents of the four most recent issues of a journal by linking to the corresponding Tables of Contents. MUSE subscribers have direct access to the full text articles from the RSS feeds. Information about subscribing to the feeds is found at the Project MUSE RSS Syndication page (http://feeds.muse.jhu.edu). Please visit this page often, as additional feeds will be added soon.

There are many websites for learning about RSS feeds and RSS Readers. While MUSE does not endorse one site or product over another, we recognize that those unfamiliar with the technology and terminology may find some introductory information helpful. The following link provides a description of RSS feeds and why they have become a popular method for information gathering. The link also provides descriptions of and links to some of the better-known RSS Readers.

http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3531486

Project MUSE is excited to add RSS feeds to the array of tools available to researchers that make it easy to locate and access full text articles in MUSE.

Current subscribers are encouraged to contact MUSE’s Customer Support desk at muse@muse.jhu.edu with any questions regarding this enhancement.
