Serials Solutions, a business unit of the US-based ProQuest LLC, has announced enhancements to its 360 Counter, 360 Resource Manager and 360 Consortium Edition management services. The enhancements improve the management, workflow and assessment of a library's collection of electronic resources, enabling staff to realise even greater efficiencies and make more informed collection development decisions.
Serials Solutions has enhanced 360 Counter and the 360 Counter Data Retrieval Service (DRS) to now support vendor-supplied data for eBooks and Journals from Archive collections, and updated the reporting interface to support the aggregation and evaluation of these new data elements. As a result, librarians will now have a more sophisticated analysis of valuable e-resource data available to make better-informed collection decisions.
The reporting enhancements made to Serials Solutions 360 Resource Manager, which include the addition of unique identifiers in all reports, will provide librarians with more consistent, comprehensive data to further optimise their e-resource management. In addition, menu manager, cost tracking and other interface enhancements offer greater flexibility for librarians to track and integrate collection data with other library systems, further improving communication and workflow.
Serials Solutions also recently created a new Resource Sharing and Inheritance Report to allow consortium managers to view sharing and inheritance activities across the consortium profiles in all 360 Consortium Edition services, including 360 Search and 360 Resource Manager.
