E-resource access and management services provider Serials Solutions, US, has announced a series of medical resource enhancements to the Serials Solutions KnowledgeWorks knowledgebase. Enhancements include the addition of over 1 million National Library of Medicine eBook MARC records and Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) data to KnowledgeWorks, as well as a new feature supporting the PubMed LinkOut service within the 360 Link OpenURL link resolver.
The Serials Solutions KnowledgeWorks e-resource knowledgebase seeks to improve e-resource access and management at medical libraries. It now includes 1.2 million National Library of Medicine eBook MARC records, which will be included as a part of the Serials Solutions 360 MARC Updates eBooks service. Serials Solutions has also started development to include MeSH data within KnowledgeWorks. MeSH data will be added as a 'subject browse' option within the 360 Core A-to-Z list before the end of 2009.
Additionally, as an enhancement for the 360 Link OpenURL link resolver, Serials Solutions has begun to provide XML holdings data to PubMed LinkOut to enable libraries to connect patrons from PubMed citations to full-text anywhere in the library's collection. This is a free service available to subscribers of 360 Link.
