Benefits
Shared Data Model
Metadata is maintained within KnowledgeWorks, our highly respected knowledgebase. We’ll maintain it for you, saving you time and improving the accuracy of the information that powers your library.
Built-in Interoperability
Designed to not only allow you to manage your entire library’s collection in one place, but also to interact with external systems such as finance, suppliers, and discovery services. By more tightly connecting all library activity, efficiencies are created, information is shared, and costs are reduced.
Redefined Workflows
Utilizing brand-new workflows designed in partnership with libraries to meet the reality of today’s library operations. Streamlined workflows mean greater productivity, allowing resources to be reallocated to high- priority activities.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
A true Software as a Service (SaaS) offering that provides cost savings at multiple levels. With no hardware or software to maintain, it eliminates the need for costly IT resources and expertise.
A Partner You Can Count On
A long history of delivering innovative solutions to meet the ever-changing needs of librarians including the first A-Z list, the first and most respected e-resources knowledgebase, the first MARC records updating service for serials, and pioneer of web-scale discovery. Development is underway using the same library-guided, Agile development process as used by the Summon™ service.
Enhanced Reporting
Measurement required by libraries today goes far beyond simple usage numbers. Our web-scale management solution maintains highly accurate information within one system that can be shared and enhanced via interaction with other library and campus systems, creating information that can be used for decision-making, performance evaluation, and alignment with the greater institution mission.
