Information services provider Swets, Netherlands, has announced that the Mendeley Institutional Edition (MIE) powered by Swets has gone live, empowering libraries and delivering new tools to researchers.
MIE is for academic institutions and research groups, who want to provide improved services to researchers. It is a research service provided by libraries that reportedly improves the productivity of researchers, and gives the library the real-time visibility they need to continuously improve their services. According to the company, unlike alternative products that only provide pieces of the solution, MIE delivers clear value to both libraries and their customers.
MIE is said to combine a premium version of the Mendeley research work tool, which gives a productive integrated combination of reference management, research content discovery and collaboration. The product is also seen to give libraries analytics that lets them connect content use with consequent research publications and the readership of these publications. These analytics also help the library identify how to continuously improve their services. This is a cloud based real time platform.
