Bibliographic information provider Bowker, US, a business unit of ProQuest, has released a new version of Syndetics, a resource valued by librarians for its ability to enhance the bibliographic content found in library online catalogues. The new Syndetics Plus combines more than 11 million content enrichment elements with advanced widget technology to seamlessly integrate this data within a library's OPAC.
Syndetics Plus includes a simple, easy-to-use widget that automatically integrates Syndetics data - descriptive information and cover images relating to videos, DVDs, CDs, audio books, and all types of books from juvenile chapter books to conference proceedings. The widget allows for customised implementation that makes the Syndetics content neatly match the look and feel of the OPAC. Libraries can also choose where on the page to place each content element.
Syndetics currently provides a range of 25 data elements, with new options continually being added. Various elements of content are added weekly for more than 100,000 new titles each year.
