(Los Angeles, June 5, 2008) Reprints Desk, Inc., a subsidiary of Derycz Scientific, Inc., continues to focus on making access to published content as easy and cost effective as possible. Reprints Desk’s newly released Order Filtering feature, in combination with Open URL link-outs and single sign-on functionality, enables customers to make the most of the content resources they have already paid for or licensed, including online subscriptions and Copyright Clearance Center licenses.
In support of customer demand for a seamless unmediated document delivery workflow, the Order Filtering feature checks incoming document orders against customer holdings in order to “bounce-back” orders to internal sources for fulfillment when appropriate. Order Filtering can be combined with other components to create an end-user friendly workflow. For example, Open URL link-outs can be used to pass citation data and place orders with Reprints Desk. Single sign-on capabilities allow end-users to access the Reprints Desk order form and other website features without logging in with a specific username and password.
Scott Ahlberg, Reprints Desk’s Head of Corporate Services, said, “A full unmediated workflow allows customers to track statistics on journal and article usage, by user or department, regardless of how the content is paid for. Our Order Filtering Service can be configured to work with a library’s particular requirements for delivery and billing. For example, orders matching internal holdings can be “bounced” to the requestor or to a specified service administrator. We think it is important to recognize that corporate libraries function in a variety of environments, often across geographic lines, and a certain level of customization is important.”
Order Filtering, Open URL link-outs, and single sign-on are among the features Reprints Desk supports in order to provide its customers with seamless unmediated access to content, recognizing institutional requirements and end-user preferences.

OUTSELL’S DOCUMENT DELIVERY STUDY
(Los Angeles, April 21, 2008) Reprints Desk was rated first in all four categories of customer satisfaction in the recently published Outsell survey “Document Delivery – Best Practices and Vendor Scorecard.” Outsell’s independent analysis rated document delivery vendors for depth and breadth of coverage, fair pricing, ease of doing business, and overall satisfaction.
Outsell, a research and advisory firm focused on the publishing, information, and education industries, undertook the study because information managers continue to be challenged by copyright compliance and the distribution and process management of single articles, patents, and other documents. Outsell conducted a survey in January-February 2008 of 199 information professionals, 79% from the corporate sector, 11% from government, 7% from education, and 4% from the healthcare sector. Outsell reports that “…rising star Reprints Desk is giving the heavies in the document delivery space a run for their money.” Reprints Desk garnered the No. 1 spot for depth and breadth of coverage, came in first in fair pricing, and topped all entrants for its customer-centricity and ease of doing business. In overall customer satisfaction, Reprints Desk took first place, coming in ahead of every other vendor. Reprints Desk also ranked among the highest for customer loyalty, including the significant benchmark of willingness to recommend the vendor to other buyers.
Joanne Lustig, Vice President and Lead Analyst at Outsell and author of the study, said “Information professionals believe that document delivery is among their five most valuable and important services and they are increasingly opting for outsourcing in lieu of deep intermediation. Full service providers free up library staff for more valuable tasks while enabling the library to continue providing this key service.”
The Outsell study draws attention to the confusing and frustrating landscape of varying requirements for digital rights management (DRM). Users prefer to receive a consistent product, preferably original (publisher) PDFs, but the various protective measures employed by publishers lead to a very uneven user experience. Reprints Desk recently launched an app’less DRM tool that does not require the user to download a program before accessing a document. This innovation answers the demands of both the publisher for protection and of the user of ease of access. Reprints Desk’s DRM tool is one of several customer-focused innovations the company is bringing to the marketplace.

Los Angeles, California (September 27, 2006) -- Reprints Desk announced today that it has reached an agreement with the American Society for Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP), the publishers of Pain Physician, to offer streamlined, customer-focused Reprint and ePrint services.
"Reprints and ePrints are important methods of scholarly communication and information dissemination and we are pleased to provide a full service web-based reprint service bureau to an organization of the stature and value of ASIPP" said Jan Peterson, Head of Publisher Relations at Reprints Desk. "ASIPP can concentrate on editorial and content matters while Reprints Desk focuses on servicing their readers' reprint needs.
Reprints Desk will offer paper reproduction services of ASIPP's Open Access peer-reviewed journal Pain Physician, as well as PDF distribution options for customized ePrints, protected by DRM (digital rights management). In addition Reprints Desk will provide ASIPP with a co-branded website for placing orders, requesting quotes and tracking orders, as well as an outsourced phone, email, and web-based customer service functions.
"It's a synergistic relationship that allows us to maximize our communication opportunites and minimize administrative duties. We're excellent at meeting the challenges of peer demands, information accessibility, and initial content distribution" said ASIPP CEO Laxmaiah Manchikanti, M.D. "but there is demand for on-going use of valuable content, whether by the healthcare community that needs to get the word out about clinical trial results, or authors who want to promote and share their work with colleagues. Reprints Desk understands content re-purposing, from a practical perspective, as well as the needs and interests of the consumer."
"Copyright compliance and ease of use are the drivers behind this partnership. While Open Access publications desire to make their material broadly available, there are challenges in protecting and honoring the value of the content when third parties have a keen interest in distributing in a manner of their choice. That's where Reprints Desk steps in. We offer options for reproduction and copyright compliance in ways that meets the needs of all parties," said Peter Derycz, President of Reprints Desk.

The organization has been growing rapidly since 1998 and has had a substantial impact on the practice of interventional pain management. ASIPP was started in November 1998 as the Association of Pain Management Anesthesiologists (AOPMA) to represent interventional pain physicians dedicated to improving the delivery of interventional pain management services to patients across the country in the various settings of ambulatory surgical centers, offices, and hospital outpatient departments. In addition, ASIPP also started the Interventional Pain Physician-PAC of AOPMA in December 1999 to represent the political interests of interventional pain physicians. Its name has been changed to American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians-PAC. ASIPP publishes Pain Physician, a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the science and practice of interventional pain management. As the official publication of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, Pain Physician outlines the latest studies, research and information vital to those in the growing specialty of interventional pain management. Pain Physician Journal was recently evaluated by the National Library of Medicine's Literature Selection Technical Review Committee and based upon that review, was selected for indexing and inclusion in MEDLINE.
