Library automation solutions provider SirsiDynix has released version 4.3 of Enterprise and Portfolio, its premium tools for patron discovery and digital asset management. Version 4.3 brings 24 new features and enhancements to Enterprise and Portfolio, including eResource Central integration, EBSCO Discovery Service integration, and search speed improvements.
The updates in version 4.3 of Enterprise and Portfolio include eResource Central (eRC) integration, EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) integration, Search speed improvement, Cascading profile settings and Buy It Now integration.
eRC integration lets library users search electronic content alongside physical content, see real-time availability and previews for electronic content, and download most titles from within Enterprise or Portfolio.
EDS integration brings EBSCO content to the search interface of Enterprise and Portfolio, giving library users faceted searches of EBSCO databases through a familiar interface.
Searches in version 4.3 are twice as fast on average as those in earlier versions. Additionally, administrators can copy profile settings from one profile to many others, making it easy to set up multiple profiles for branch libraries or consortia members. With the ‘Buy It Now integration’ library communities can help fund the libraries they love by making everyday purchases through the online retailers they already use.
