repository, with DASH, the existing Harvard repository (Digital Access to
Scholarship at Harvard).   --Peter Suber.]


ebrary has just announced its new technology DASH!  (Data Sharing
Fast)

DASH! is the first-of-its-kind technology, which lets Academic
Complete customers upload and share their own PDF documents at no
cost, without limitations.

It turns PDF files into searchable, highly interactive databases.
Currently in beta, DASH! enables authorized librarians to easily
upload individual PDF files or batches of documents along with
corresponding metadata from the convenience of their own
computers. Documents are almost instantaneously added to a new
collection that seamlessly integrates with Academic Complete as
well as other ebrary products and services. Collections created
with DASH! include all of ebrary's rich functionality for quickly
and easily discovering and managing information online such as
InfoTools, which turns every word into a portal to other online
resources of the library's choice; highlighting and annotating;
multiple search options; and personal bookshelves.
