Serials Solutions, a ProQuest business, has announced a collaboration with Jisc Collections KB+ to improve library workflows by transferring data from KB+ to the Serials Solutions knowledgebase. This cooperative effort will keep current data from Jisc Collections up to date in the Serials Solutions knowledgebase, saving libraries time. Serials Solutions, in partnership with Jisc Collections, is committed to extending this initiative by programmatically updating both journal title data within Serials Solutions knowledgebase and library-specific holdings.
In another collaborative effort, Jisc Collections has shared the license data for the resources negotiated by Jisc Collections. This leadership effort by Jisc Collections has resulted in very detailed license data for the JISC Collections resources. That data is being put into Serials Solutions' License Template library, available to all users of 360 Resource Manager.
This cooperation is expected to benefit libraries using both the KB+ and Serials Solutions services. The collaboration is symbolic of both organizations commitment to improve UK libraries.
Other recent Serials Solutions developments specifically designed for UK libraries include the addition of important publisher title lists to the knowledgebase, along with the development of SCONUL accreditation reports within the 360 Counter assessment service.
