Libraries with the Academic Complete® subscription, ProQuest's flagship ebook resource, can now provide an enhanced user experience for their patrons in the Ebook Central® platform, as the result of a new integration with the Syndetics Unbound™ service.
Syndetics Unbound is an enrichment service that integrates with a library's catalog or discovery layer, adding up to 16 interactive elements designed to encourage exploration and increase circulation. ProQuest has integrated the Syndetics Unbound service's most popular enrichment elements into the Ebook Central platform - an added value that helps connect students and researchers to relevant resources they may not have otherwise discovered.
These elements, which draw from ProQuest and LibraryThing data are now available for students and researchers to view on the Ebook Central 'book detail' page, which provides real-time availability and key bibliographic information for ebooks in a library's holdings.
Syndetics Unbound enrichment elements will release on Ebook Central this month to Academic Complete customers. Those who subscribe to Syndetics Unbound for their catalog or discovery layer will also get the functionality for any ebooks acquired through Ebook Central.
The Academic Complete collection is ProQuest's flagship ebook subscription, providing 150,000 multi-disciplinary ebooks to libraries around the globe. Delivered on the Ebook Central platform, it provides unlimited multi-user access, powerful research tools and DRM-free chapter downloads. More university presses contribute to Academic Complete than any other subscription, and in the next few years it will be the only subscription to carry more than 14,000 high-demand, high use Wiley titles. Academic Complete also includes a Book Display Widget for promoting titles on any website.
