Introducing the New Serials Solutions® 360 Resource Manager Consortium Edition
Serials Solutions today announced the release of Serials Solutions® 360 Resource Manager Consortium Edition, a new e-resource management service for consortia, groups, and their member libraries. 360 Resource Manager Consortium Edition helps consortia managers increase efficiency by consolidating e-resource metadata and acquisition information in one place. Now consortia can manage holdings, subscription, licensing, contact, and cost information for their group and streamline delivery of information to all group members.
Serials Solutions 360 Resource Manager Consortium Edition helps consortia to more easily and effectively manage e-resource selection, acquisition, and analysis, by consolidating subscription, licensing, and holdings data and organizing it in a way that makes sense for the group. Consortia managers can choose which data to share, and automatically push that data to their members, managing all member libraries from a single service. Libraries with multiple group memberships also can inherit data from more than one group at once. As result, more content can be made available to patrons for research, and their access and discovery tools work more effectively.
“Serials Solutions modeled 360 Resource Manager Consortium Edition after the way that consortium purchase resources,” says Jeff Aipperspach, Product Manager at Serials Solutions. “It’s easy for library groups to use and provides a tremendous savings of time, effort, and expense to group members. It truly proves the value of the consortia.”
The 360 Resource Manager Consortium Edition includes Serials Solutions® 360 Core and Serials Solutions® KnowledgeWorks. For more information call Serials Solutions at 1.866.SERIALS, send an email to 360@serialssolutions.com, or visit the Serials Solutions Web site.
