DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS SELECTS SILVERCHAIR FOR NEW DIGITAL PRODUCTS PLATFORM

 

Charlottesville, VA, and Durham, NC-Silverchair Information Systems
(Silverchair) and Duke University Press announced today a new publishing
technology partnership to redevelop and host Duke University Press's
extensive collection of scholarly journals, books, and electronic
collections in the humanities and social sciences on Silverchair's online
publishing platform.

 

Duke University Press publishes more than 50 journals, offers five digital
collections, and has well over 2,000 scholarly books available online. All
humanities and social sciences journals and e-books will migrate to the
Silverchair platform, providing scholars with a single reading and research
experience across books and journals. 

 

"We are enthusiastic to collaborate with another of the world's most
respected university presses," said Thane Kerner, Silverchair CEO. "Duke
University Press's omni-format offerings will benefit greatly from our
integrated, flexible delivery platform, enabling rapid ideation and
experimentation in new ways to serve scholars and libraries. Supporting this
deep and interconnected body of scholarship in the humanities and social
sciences will drive Silverchair's technology in new and exciting
directions."

 

"After long and careful assessment of platform technologies and service
offerings, we believe Silverchair is the most capable of delivering the sort
of integrated, responsive platform we have long envisioned for our books and
journals-one that can showcase both the variety and the cohesion of our
highly interdisciplinary scholarship," said Steve Cohn, director of Duke
University Press. "Silverchair offers us a modern, secure technology
platform combined with the kind of creative and flexible approach necessary
to match our innovative, dynamic publications and products."

 

Duke University Press's content will be available on the Silverchair
platform in January 2018. Librarians and sales agents can consult our
Platform Migration Resource Page
