Serials Solutions today announced a new Data Export feature for Overlap Analysis using Serials Solutions® 360 Core. 360 Core is the foundation for Serials Solutions 360 e-resource access and management services. Overlap Analysis export allows libraries to download summary and results sets of analyzed data to use for library-specific queries and comparisons.

The Serials Solutions 360 Core Overlap Analysis tool enables libraries to quickly identify duplicate resources in the current collection and perform value-analysis prior to purchasing new resources. Libraries can run reports on each database in the collection, drill down to the journal level, or evaluate the library’s collection in aggregate. Now, using the Overlap Analysis Data Export feature, libraries can download these reports from 360 Core to use in other applications.

“Being able to export Overlap Analysis reports really helps libraries manage their resources on a granular level to make the best collection development decisions for both electronic and print resources,” says Jeff Aipperspach, Product Manager at Serials Solutions. “Understanding which resources are duplicates can save libraries money.”

Overlap Analysis is an integral feature of Serials Solutions 360 Core e-resource access and management service. Serials Solutions 360 Core is offered as a standalone service and included with all subscriptions to other Serials Solutions 360 services. For more information about 360 Core Overlap Analysis or other Serials Solutions services, email 360@serialssolutions.com or call 1-866-SERIALS.
