Autonomy and NetLibrary to Provide Libraries with an Improved Learning Environment
San Francisco, CA - 26 September 2005- Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L) a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that NetLibrary, a division of the worldwide library cooperative OCLC, Inc, has chosen Autonomy as its technology partner to provide academic, public, corporate and special libraries with improved facilities to locate and access information.
NetLibrary provides electronic content and technical delivery solutions to more than 13,000 institutional libraries, corporations and government agencies worldwide that provide research, reference, digital learning, and general interest content to their constituents via web-based technologies.
"Improving and enhancing our technical platform remains a critical priority for us. After several months of research, Autonomy stood out among the 13 software providers we reviewed" said Tom Whitcomb, Senior Director of Information Technology. "We wanted to provide advanced retrieval functionality as well as improve upon the ability of our library's patrons to find relevant content in a more expedient way. Autonomy stood out as offering the technology that could fulfill these requirements."
Autonomy's technology allows NetLibrary to index eBooks, eJournals, and other popular eContent types regardless of format and/or location. These resources can be made up of multiple file types from different repositories including for example internal PDF and HTML documents, external web sites, and databases such as SQL and Oracle. Autonomy collates all of these sources and makes them available through a single interface. Additionally, NetLibrary will employ several other Autonomy features, such as cross-linking of files, content summarization, content suggestions, spell checking, and other functionalities that enable users to find the materials they are looking for more quickly and comprehensively.
"Also of high interest to us is Autonomy's foreign language support. This functionality will allow us to offer patrons a more robust capability to locate information in various languages," added Whitcomb. "This is of particular importance, as the number of libraries NetLibrary serves internationally continues to grow."
Autonomy's technology will significantly expand NetLibrary's ability to offer an easy-to-use information and retrieval system, providing their customers with increased access to over 92,000 full texts of reference, scholarly, and professional eBooks, journals and audio files.
Charlotte Herbert, Global Marketing Manager Autonomy, commented, "An increasing number of international libraries are realizing the immense benefits Autonomy's intelligent technology can bring to their information systems. The technology helps guide readers through the maze of electronic records and files available, supporting the work of librarians and offering the most advanced research facilities. We are pleased that NetLibrary has joined the ranks of customers such as The UK Parliamentary Information Service (PIMS), the Bibliothèque Municipale de Lyon and the Chinese National Library of Science who already work successfully with Autonomy's technology."
