Digital Science to support U.S. government libraries

Digital Science, a technology company serving stakeholders across the research ecosystem, will offer U.S. government libraries access to some of its most powerful research data and analytics tools under a new partnership with the Federal Library and Information Network (FEDLINK).
The Library of Congress is the world’s largest library, offering access to the creative record of the United States – and extensive materials from around the world – both on-site and online. It is the main research arm of the U.S. Congress and the home of the U.S. Copyright Office.
The Federal Library and Information Network (FEDLINK) is an organisation of federal agencies working together to achieve the optimum use of the resources and facilities of federal libraries and information centres by promoting common services, coordinating and sharing available resources, and providing continuing professional education for federal library and information staff. FEDLINK serves as a forum for the discussion of the policies, programs, procedures, and technologies that affect federal libraries and the information services they provide to their agencies, Congress, the federal courts, and the American people.
The three Digital Science solutions now available to FEDLINK libraries and agencies are:
- Dimensions, which hosts the largest collection of interconnected global research data;
- Altmetric, a leading provider of alternative research metrics; and
- ReadCube – a scalable literature workflow solutions platform.
Duane Willams, Managing Director, Global Governments and Non-Profits, Digital Science, said: “As an approved FEDLINK vendor, we’re excited that three of Digital Science’s flagship solutions will be available to FEDLINK libraries, helping to drive discoveries, analysis, actionable insights, reporting, and planning across U.S. government branches.”
