Literatum: Capabilities

Publisher Administration

Our philosophy: Give clients complete control over and insight into their publishing through easy-to-use tools. Changes that used to require hours, days, or even weeks of expensive software development to complete can now be made by business users in minutes. Empower your staff to do more in less time.

Content Types & Management

Publish journals, books, reference works, databases, and other types of professional and scholarly content, including digital-only media such as audio and video. Create new content experiences by weaving user-generated content into your publications. Add reference linking and citing articles to your PDFs with PDFplus.

Delivery & User Interface

Make your content accessible anytime, anywhere, including through the latest and most popular mobile platforms. Choose from a set of configurable user interface templates or work with us to specify and implement your own custom design. Regardless of your choice, your branding is always front and center.

Search & Discovery

Aid customers in discovering your content using sophisticated search and multiple types of personalized alerts. Then add taxonomies, recommendations, and other tools for them to quickly analyze what additional relevant content is available, keeping them on your website for longer periods of time and increasing usage.

Identities & Authentication

Build stronger relationships with customers by knowing how they arrived at your website, their organizational affiliations, and which campaigns they've participated in. Authenticate customers by login and password, IP address, Shibboleth, OpenID, and more. Implement single sign-on across products and websites.

Licensing & Commerce

Maximize your content's monetization potential by employing multiple licensing models including subscriptions, concurrency-limited access, and pay-as-you-go. Advanced offer management allows you to create new products with ease and employ differential pricing based on the customer's identity and history.

Marketing & Advertising

Cultivate leads and convert them to paying customers by using demographic and behavioral data to target relevant products, services, and messages. Place paid or in-house advertisements on web pages and in email alerts. It's never been this easy to get the right messages to the right customers at the right time.

Reporting

Obtain reports that help to make strategic decisions about your business. A wealth of out-of-the-box reports, including COUNTER-compliant usage reports, can be run on demand and are delivered in spreadsheet and XML formats. Reports can also be saved and automatically run each day, week, or month.

Web Content Management

Create new template-driven web pages, such as aims and scope and editorial board pages, with a WYSIWYG editor, or edit the HTML directly in advanced mode. Upload files, compare revisions, and preview, approve, or revert changes with one click. You can even edit snippets from multiple web pages simultaneously.

Librarian Administration

Provide librarians with a comprehensive portal for viewing access rights; specifying authentication credentials, including for remote access; uploading a co-branding image; running COUNTER-compliant usage reports; configuring link resolvers; and downloading MARC records for inclusion in OPACs.
