Project MUSE partners with HighWire to create new digital hosting and delivery platform

by Bonnie Zavon

The Johns Hopkins University Press (JHUP) has reached an agreement with Stanford University’s HighWire Press to transition to the HighWire Open Platform as the new digital hosting and delivery platform for Project MUSE.

Over the past year, JHUP and its digital publishing unit Project MUSE have conducted an extensive search for a technology partner to assist in expanding the capacity of Project MUSE to support its current content offering and allow MUSE to pursue opportunities in developing new products, business models and service offerings for its growing community of more than 200 publishers and 2700 libraries.

SUL Welcomes the Business Library to Symphony

by Richard Webber

Until Spring Break, the Graduate School of Business Library used the Lane Medical Library's Voyager system to run its library operations. SUL's Symphony system and SearchWorks contained a copy of the bibliographic records for the Business Library's collection. However, the data control, acquisition and circulation functions were provided through Lane's Voyager system.

As of this past Spring Break, we completed the migration of all of the Business Library's operating functions over to SUL’s Symphony system, making the Business Library the third Coordinate Library to use Symphony alongside the Robert Crown Law Library and the Hoover Institution Library and Archives. We would like to welcome the Business Library to the SUL community and extend our thanks to the teams that made this complex project possible: GSB Library Staff, SUL Tech Services, DLSS/SearchWorks Team and ESP/Library Systems. Particular thanks go to Darsi Rueda who did an excellent job as overall project lead.
