Serials Solutions, a business unit of ProQuest, US, has announced the release of Serials Solutions 360 Resource Manager Consortium Edition, a new e-resource management service for consortia, groups and their member libraries. 360 Resource Manager Consortium Edition helps consortia managers increase efficiency by consolidating e-resource metadata and acquisition information in one place. Now consortia can manage holdings, subscription, licensing, contact, and cost information for their group and streamline delivery of information to all group members.
In addition, the service helps consortia to more easily and effectively manage e-resource selection, acquisition, and analysis, by consolidating subscription, licensing, and holdings data and organising it in a way that makes sense for the group. Consortia managers can choose which data to share, and automatically push that data to their members, managing all member libraries from a single service. Libraries with multiple group memberships also can inherit data from more than one group at once. As result, more content can be made available to patrons for research, and their access and discovery tools work more effectively.
The 360 Resource Manager Consortium Edition includes Serials Solutions 360 Core and Serials Solutions KnowledgeWorks.
