Data Update

Clients get the latest news about knowledge updates and database changes as well as newly added providers and databases in our Support Center.

The buzz these days is all about e-books and we continue to work on our E-book Normalization Project to help you increase usage and ROI for e-books.  Since June 6, 2012 our team has created over 17,000 new authority title records for e-books and added additional normalizers for over 306,000 e-book holdings.  Normalization improves e-book results in our 360 services and provides users more consistent and streamlined access to e-books.  Clients can see regular project status updates in our Support Center (Answer 827).
