Ingram Content Group Inc. has enhanced the patron-driven acquisition (PDA) tools available for e-books on its OASIS platform for academic libraries.
Through an enhanced integration with EBSCO Information Services, libraries have access to a greater range of e-book content and collection development options through the OASIS platform. With new functionality, OASIS customers also have the option to include EBSCO e-books in Ingram Coutts profiles and can elect to have those e-books added to PDA collections in already established workflows.
The OASIS platform supports a wide range of titles from publishers and e-book vendors, including content from Ingram's MyiLibrary platform, to supply the broadest selection of content to customers worldwide.
The OASIS platform, Ingram's academic content platform for its library company Coutts Information Services, is a comprehensive online library interface for bibliographic information and searching, book and e-book acquisition, collection development and workflow management. Through the OASIS platform, libraries are able to access a database of millions of titles; search, select and manage orders online; download records; monitor standing orders; manage approval plans and new title notification plans; track orders and access reporting information.
