Scitopia Expands with Six Partners

By Michael Rogers -- Library Journal, 7/15/2008

Scitopia.org, the federated search portal created by leading science and technology societies in 2007, has expanded its ranks with the addition of six new partners. Joining the group are the Royal Society, Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), Audio Engineering Society (AES), and Society for Information Display (SID). The new pledges bring the total number of digital libraries searched by Scitopia.org to 21.

“Our goal is to continually improve the user’s experience with Scitopia.org by adding new content from high-quality science and technology partners,” said Barbara Lange, director of product line management and publishing business development for IEEE, a charter partner. “This group of new partners is particularly important because they expand the topic areas that can be studied with Scitopia.org and offer users a deeper historical archive.” The addition of the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of science, extends Scitopia.org’s archive back to 1665, with some of the most significant scientific papers ever published, including Isaac Newton’s invention of the reflecting telescope and the first research paper published by Stephen Hawking.
