Open Text To Demonstrate Latest ECM Solutions for Libraries at SLA Conference

Federal Reserve Bank of New York and Open Text Conduct Joint Presentation on the Challenges of Integrating Access to Diverse Content Types in Libraries

Chicago, Illinois - 2007-06-05 - Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), the largest independent provider of enterprise content management (ECM) software and solutions, today announced that it will be exhibiting the latest in ECM solutions for libraries and participating in a key presentation on how libraries can integrate access to their physical collections with access to the growing range of digital content at the upcoming Special Libraries Association (SLA) 2007 Conference, June 3-5 in Denver, Colorado.

Libraries face unique challenges with the explosion of online information and Web-based technologies. The difficulty is providing easy, centralized access to this growing array of content, in both electronic and physical forms. What libraries need are software solutions that can manage and provide a consolidated point of access to all types of content. With this integrated approach, libraries can build and manage hybrid collections where books and journals, coexist with documents, images, archival content, electronic resources, and even media.

Kyla Whitt, Law Library Administrator at Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which utilizes Open Text s library solutions, and Carol Knoblauch, who leads Open Text s solutions for libraries, gave a joint presentation on integrating access to library collections at SLA, June 3, which they will present again during a webinar following the conference, on June 26th. The presentation focuses on how the Law Library has been able to integrate access to content through its Online Patron Access Catalog (OPAC)

According to Whitt, Today s online world, with Google and other resources, has created more demanding users for libraries. They want faster access to accurate and meaningful information. We created OPAC to address these challenges and provide more complete access to information so that users have an easier time finding what they need. Using the system, for example, users can not only retrieve a catalog record, they can also view and search the full-text of digital content attached to a record. Patrons searching for books can retrieve the full table of contents, introduction and preface; they can search, download and print the full text of government documents.

Whitt points out that OPAC serves a dual function, serving as a central place for online research and acting as a secure, long term repository for its diverse and growing collection of digital resources.
