INSPIRE - A next-generation Open Access digital library for High-Energy Physics

"It might be of interest for this list to know that that SPIRES..., the venerable and long-serving information system for High-Energy-Physics, is now being replaced by INSPIRE....INSPIRE is jointly developed by leading laboratories CERN, DESY, Fermilab and SLAC, and builds on four decades of hand-curated SPIRES content and Invenio Digital Library software. It offers faster and smarter searches, detailed results, direct access to figures, co-cited articles and full-text searches. Many more features will be released in the next few months, in partnership with arXiv, ADS and leading publishers in the field....The concept of SPIRES/INSPIRE is to integrate the literature of the field in a single access point, treating interchangeably information both from scholarly journals and Open Access pre-print spontaneously deposited by authors in arXiv. This concepts harnesses the power of subject repositories as catalists and accelerators of scholarly communication...."
