Your patrons are comfortable with electronic materials.
In fact, they expect fast and simple access from local
and remote locations. As your e-resources grow, you need
to manage their acquisition, control their licensing and
use, troubleshoot every problem that comes up, and do this
without increasing staff. Staying on top of a changing
environment where resources are added, removed or modified,
is more than a full-time job. Endeavor has products to
help you manage these tasks more efficiently.
Meridianā¢
The life-cycle of electronic resources can be more significantly
more complicated than print resources. Licenses must be
negotiated, trials may be conducted with feedback from
users, and the resource may change over time. Unlike books,
e-resources must be dynamically maintained as holdings
change over time. Meridian puts all the information you
need in your hands:
- View summary information about coverage, licensing
and acquisition history.
- Probe deeper to bring up detailed information covering
all aspects of a given e-resource.
- Automatic linking to your ILS so that information is
entered once, in the appropriate place, to simplify maintenance.
Journals Onsiteā¢
You have made the move to local storage of electronic
journals. Adding another system for access might be a challenge,
both in terms of training and support. You need a simple,
consistent interface to the complete collection, regardless
of publisher or format. And you will need lots of capacity.
Journals Onsite delivers:
- Standard, widely-accepted methods for browsing and
article presentation.
- Alphabetical listings, multiple subject-category levels.
- A Customer Usability Tested interface, providing an
optimized user experience.
- No known capacity limitations.
