ISIS Developer Toolkit for Libraries
ebrary’s ISIS developer toolkit enables libraries and content partners to build their own digital content distribution system on their own servers for complete control and ownership. This is the same robust and secure technology that ebrary has used for more than a decade to aggregate and distribute more than 170,000 e-books to more than 16 million end-users throughout the world.
With ISIS, libraries can submit and distribute any content in PDF such as theses and dissertations, reports, special collections, yearbooks, campus newspapers, conference proceedings, and other internal documents. ISIS rapidly compiles documents into a fully searchable and flexible system, with document viewing through ebrary Readers, overcoming the barriers typically associated with cumbersome PDF files located in various places throughout the institution.
