Institutions across the UK are choosing to transform their library management systems using the new cloud-based Intota™, from ProQuest. Designed to address the needs of today's libraries, Intota manages electronic collections and supports the expectations of modern patrons.
Intota combines discovery, linking, e-resources management and assessment in one solution, fuelled by a single, authoritative knowledgebase. With Intota, ProQuest is focused on not just replacing the status quo, but on transforming the library and building upon the capabilities of existing systems.
The five institutions that have selected Intota vary in size and in experience with ProQuest solutions. They include the University of Huddersfield, Staffordshire University, and De Montfort University, all of whom have used earlier solutions from ProQuest, whilst Edge Hill University and Queen Mary University of London are new to ProQuest workflow applications.
The University of Huddersfield is expanding its relationship with ProQuest by becoming an Intota Beta Partner. The Intota Beta Partners provide invaluable advice to ProQuest as Intota evolves.
A concern for libraries today is the amount of unnecessary hours spent trying to manage vast collections of electronic resources. Intota eliminates inefficient workflows around the management of electronic resources, allowing staff to focus on more important activities. The integrated platform streamlines the entire e-resource lifecycle including evaluation, acquisition, assessment and renewal. Resources acquired through Demand Driven Acquisition (DDA) are instantly and seamlessly updated within Intota's discovery and assessment modules. Intota greatly enhances the discoverability and access to content for users while enabling librarians to perform detailed collection assessment across print and electronic holdings.
Intota delivers an unprecedented discovery experience that enables easy, efficient and unbiased access to the library's collection.
