Serials Solutions Offers Special Discount; Enhances Resources
BCR's partnership with Serials Solutions supplies BCR members with the ability to provide patrons with greater access to their library's resources and to help librarians become more productive. Serials Solutions is in the process of completing a number of enhancements and is offering a special limited-time discount for new subscriptions to any of their integrated 360 services.
Serials Solutions’ development of new products and features over the past few years has included significant improvements to make it easier for librarians to manage and patrons to access e-resources. BCR subscribers will soon be able to take advantage of these new features.
- Serials Solutions KnowledgeWorks — More resources in the form of 500,000-plus eBooks from more than 20 providers are scheduled to be added later in May and integrated into all e-resource access and management services.
- 360 Resource Manager — A new, more powerful Acquisitions Data Import feature, new reports and upcoming Consortia Support features will help libraries better manage all their e-resource subscriptions.
- 360 Counter — Additional features, including SUSHI Schema 1.5 for EBSCOhost support and new enhancements have been designed to help a library discover the value of its e-resources.
- 360 MARC Updates — Supercharge your OPAC with updated records for e-resources (e-journals and eBooks), improved brief records and Unicode compliance.
- 360 Search — Search and connect to more databases with the new Integrated Connector Library (360 Search and WebFeat connectors).
- 360 Link — More integration means a library can leverage new developments surrounding eBooks, Community of Scholars (COS) and Google Books.
- 360 Core — Increased access to eBooks through the E-Journal Portal.
Through June 25, Serials Solutions is extending special pricing for new subscriptions to any of its 360 e-resource access and management services as well as to Ulrich’s Online Services (Ulrichsweb.com and Ulrich’s Serials Analysis System). This is in addition to the existing discounts currently available for BCR members.
For specific pricing for your library, please contact BCR's Jay Ford (jford@bcr.org). You can discuss with him what your library’s needs are and talk about what solution would be most beneficial for your library and your patrons.
