Global licensing and content solutions organisation Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC) has announced that its Get It Now academic solution is now integrated with OCLC's WorldShare Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service, which claims to be the largest ILL network in the world.
Get It Now, adopted by nearly 300 institutions of higher education, is a cost-effective service that gives library patrons and staff instant access to valuable journal content from over 130 publishers. It increases operational efficiencies, streamlines article ordering and invoicing processes, and includes a comprehensive Librarian Dashboard to manage and track Get It Now article purchases and create real-time usage reports. Tightly integrated within article search and ILL workflows, Get It Now can be implemented as a librarian-mediated version, a link resolver-based unmediated version, or a hybrid of both.
This integration with OCLC is based on the librarian-mediated version of Get It Now and supports payment of Get It Now article purchases through OCLC's Interlibrary Loan Fee Management service.
Get It Now was recently selected as a Top Product by readers of University Business magazine for the second consecutive year.
