HighWire has announced that McGraw-Hill has implemented HighWire’s latest hosting and access management technology.
McGraw-Hill’s AccessEngineering is an engineering resource for students, faculty and professionals and has used HighWire solutions since 2011. The site offers 700 books plus a mix of other non-standard content such as videos, spreadsheets and tutorials.
Scolaris, part of the HighWire Hosting solution, is an integrated content platform that will enable McGraw-Hill to publish multiple content types on a single site. The hosting upgrade provides McGraw-Hill with new software, new features and a new design.
HighWire Identity, delivered via SAMS Sigma, provides McGraw-Hill’s site users with a single sign-on to access scholarly content. It enables the publisher to identify each user and delivers a flexible and scalable way to license content and control access.
AccessEngineering has five taxonomies built into it (subjects, industries, courses, equations, and codes & standards), along with a personal curation layer designed to tailor results specifically to the end-user. The HighWire solution also integrates with Hypothesis to enable annotations, as well as CASA (Campus Activated Subscriber Access).
