ASM serves the materials research, reference, and education needs of engineers, scientists, and technicians. ASM serves by generating articles, books, databases, industry news, education courses, and international events on current engineering practices, accompanied by scientific research in the development, manufacturing, testing, modeling, and application of engineered materials.
The integrated ASM Digital Library offers flexible, modular access across content types, facilitated by advanced taxonomy-driven search, navigation, and linking features. Within the new ASM Digital Library, users may seamlessly move between content sets and discover the full value of ASM’s offerings, comprised of more than 300,000 content items (articles, chapters, data sheets). The content from the ASM Handbook is now available on the Silverchair Platform and features Silverchair’s split-screen view for a superior user experience in referencing figures, tables, and more. ASM’s remaining content assets will migrate to the platform in 2019 and beyond.
“Silverchair is fully aligned with ASM’s aims for content unification, modern user experience, improved discoverability, collection and product flexibility, cost efficiency, and robust use of taxonomy,” said Thane Kerner, Silverchair CEO. “The ASM Digital Library provides users with an immediate upgrade via Silverchair’s state-of-the-art functionality and flexible user interfaces.”
“We are excited to see the ASM Digital Library hosted on the Silverchair Platform, which is unparalleled in the market in its support for the many content types that ASM delivers,” said Bill Mahoney, CEO of ASM. “In seeking a long-term strategic platform provider, Silverchair’s reputation for proven technology and excellent client service stood out among their competitors. Silverchair’s clear vision for the digital future of research and technical content is in sync with ASM’s current Renewal program goals, as well as for future development.”
