Through the LexisNexis U.S. Serial Set Digital Collection, users are able to execute full-text searches across the entire collection of the U.S. Serial Set (through 1969) to discover previously inaccessible documents. Searches will run against OCR-generated ASCII text; each result will consist of metadata describing the retrieved document and a PDF image.

Using Adobe Acrobat, users can easily print selected pages or the entire document at one time. “Smart PDFs” will enable users to perform keyword searches within each PDF to locate the exact page(s) search terms occur within a document.

To facilitate even broader access, the collection will be compliant with federated search software by the time it is completed.

While Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act deals with federal government procurement standards, in the spirit of accessibility LexisNexis has met Section 508’s standards and has looked at both the search interface and digital documents that were created for the Serial Set to make them as friendly as possible to the visually challenged.
