Order a free trial version of the Vivaldi document server and familiarize yourself with our electronic library network. Vivaldi is set to open up your publishing house, university or library’s books, educational materials and scientific resources to more readers than ever before. Vivaldi 1. Vivaldi allows copyright holders to publish their libraries with a view to providing access to readers either online or through a network of virtual reading rooms. 2. The virtual reading room network is constantly expanding. Our next step will be to connect the various libraries and universities around the world. The range of accessible literature on offer is steadily growing due to the increase in the number of catalogues connected to the system and the addition of new organizations to the project. 3. The copyright holder has complete control over library access, because each Vivaldi document server is physically located at the same location as the storage bay of the relevant rights holder. Vivaldi has an in-built feature which protects against unauthorized file duplication. Vivaldi doesn’t cache or store files remotely. 4. Rights holders can provide both free and paid access to their content; they can either offer their libraries on a subscription basis, or request advance payment before documents can be downloaded. 5. An in-built ordering system supports online purchase of digital content. Online library owners also receive royalties when documents which they own are printed out in virtual reading rooms. Viewing and printing statistics for individual libraries can be viewed online in real time. 6. Access to online resources can be restricted on various grounds, including a subscription already having been issued, the resource being accessed through a corporate or virtual private network and authorization attempts via open source technologies or custom user directories. 7. Vivaldi allows users to create a closed, in-house library for use within organizations. 8. Vivaldi upholds copyright laws in accordance with the relevant legislation. Connection When an organization wants to broadcast its content to a specific audience, a document server which communicates directly with its storage bay is installed on site. The key element of the network’s architecture is the central server which acts as the single search engine for all the document storage servers. Vivaldi supports all the basic formats for bibliographic entries. For a standard license one text storage format is supported – PDF.
