SirsiDynix Announces Sirsi-Dynix Portfolio Digital Asset Management

by: Vicki Nesting

SirsiDynix announced the official release of the SirsiDynix Portfolio digital asset management tool. The Portfolio solution builds upon SirsiDynix Enterprise search and discovery, adding digital asset management capabilities, optical character recognition (OCR) technology, Open Archives Initiative (OAI)compatibility for web harvesting, and a security-conscious content management system.


With the Portfolio solution, libraries are empowered to:



  • gain relevance beyond the library community by exposing digital content to web crawlers;

  • provide full-spectrum search results and access to previously unsearchable items through in-text (OCR) search and optional harvesting of library-selected websites or external resources;

  • localize recordkeeping with customizable metadata fields, and ability to cross-link an unlimited number of records for easy reference; 

  • organize and share multimedia collections including PDFs, video, audio, webpages, and more, and preserve historical collections with support for major
    standards for the archivist; and

  • restrict or limit access to protected assets, item-by-item or batch, through the Portfolio platform’s accountability control settings. Optional access control and authentication management features can also accommodate different viewing privileges by individual user, group, or location.
