IPST Haselton Library and Knowledge Center Announces New Digital Systems to Access IPST Reports and Papers

The IPST Member Channel now hosts two new digital systems to provide access to IPST reports and papers exclusively for its member companies - the IPST Digital Collections and the PDF Archive, located at:

http://members.ipst.edu/reports_publications/index.htm.

The IPST Digital Collections will provide access to current and past IPST research reports,
technical papers, and dissertations. Currently in test mode, the Digital Collections contains the full text, including images, of Project Advisory Committee (PAC) Reports, 1998 - 2001. This database features advanced document searching and browsing capabilities. Users may search materials in two ways: by specific fields, such as author, project number, or PAC name; or by the full text of the document. Another valued feature is the ability to create document browse lists by user specifications. IPST documents in the Digital Collections are easily viewable in standard HTML format via the World Wide Web; no special software is required to view these files.

The PDF Archive provides access to older IPST dissertations (1933-99), technical papers (up to August 2000) and research reports (1995-2000) in the PDF format. They are searchable in two ways. The faster, and newly improved Member Channel version of the IPST Haselton Library catalog (Webcat) allows users to search these documents by author, title, date, and subject. The Inktomi web search engine is also available to search the full text of the PDF-formatted documents.

The Digital Collections represents the latest technological approaches to preserving and accessing digital information. The PDF Archive provides a base of electronic access to IPST's older materials. They are both initiatives of the IPST Haselton Library and Knowledge Center, with funding support from the IPST Knowledge Initiative. The Library and Knowledge Center is currently working to integrate IPST's documents already available on the Member Channel into the Digital Collections, and will continue to make new documents available as they are published. Customers' feedback on these new digital information systems are welcome at Tyler.Walters@ipst.gatech.edu.
