E-resource access and management solutions provider TDNet, Inc., US, recently launched the TDNet Database Manager, providing tools for accessing and managing electronic databases and collections. The Database Manager is projected as a complementary module to the Journal Manager and eBook Manager. Users can search and access databases and electronic collections as standalone content, or they can combine searches with available e-books and journals, including free resources and local repositories.
The Database Manager features a customisable interface that offers A-Z listings of electronic collections and databases. In addition to title searching and browsing, users can search by subject headings as determined by the library.
Additionally, TDNet has also announced forthcoming enhancements to its eBook Manager. The tool currently contains content from various publishers and aggregators. Free e-books are also represented in the eBook Manager knowledgebase.
As a standalone service, the eBook Manager features a customisable A to Z interface that allows users to search and access e-book holdings. When integrated with TDNet’s Journal and Database Managers, users can perform simultaneous searches for journals, e-books and databases. Also, users can resolve book citations and link to full-text content at the book, chapter or page level, when available, using TDNet’s OpenURL link resolver service. The TDNet eBook Manager supports various searching options and users can perform rapid searches for specific e-book content using book title, ISBN, volume, issue, edition, year, book author, editor, publisher or vendor.
Forthcoming enhancements to the eBook Manager include usage statistics, overlap and COUNTER reports, online holdings updates, interface customisation, proxy setup, general notes and information about print access. Acquisitions and licence management for e-books will also be available shortly.
