Analyze detailed information about print and electronic serials
Ulrich's Serials Analysis System provides serials librarians, acquisitions and subject specialists, collection managers, electronic resource librarians and others with detailed information on the print and electronic serials they have--and don't have. Working with the library's own serials collection, Ulrich's Serials Analysis System integrates the internal and external, evaluative information you need to make collection-critical decisions. Plus, the library's subscription to Ulrich's Serials Analysis System includes site-wide access to Ulrichsweb.com for library patrons.
Now you can understand your serials collection with the one assessment and analysis tool that brings together an authoritative, global perspective on print and electronic serials resources and a flexible set of reporting options.

Generate collection- and publisher-specific reports
Individual reports about Your Library, Comparison & Overlap Reports, Aggregator Comparison Reports, Top Publisher Reports and other options allow you to customize analysis to meet your institution's individual needs across all serials formats.
For example, you may create and share detailed title-by-title reports based on subject area, country of publication, language of publication, publisher, refereed status or electronic availability. You can also create and share reports about your collection's invalid, duplicate, or other ISSN for further review and catalog clean-up. All Ulrich's Serials Analysis System reports can be downloaded in spreadsheet-ready formats.
Reports at the consortium level give you a system-wide view of your institution's collection and the collections of other consortium members.
Evaluate a Publisher or Provider's Offerings
What are a publisher's strengths in a given subject area? Are similar--or more appropriate--titles available from other publishers? You can compare a publisher to Ulrich's to better understand how that publisher's title list stacks up to other publisher offerings tracked in the Ulrich's knowledgebase.
Detailed bibliographic information from Ulrich's
Detailed bibliographic information for individual print, microform, and electronic titles is provided from Ulrich's and can be combined with your own holdings data. Using tools to expand or narrow your analysis, you can isolate peer-reviewed and electronic titles, identify abstracting & indexing availability, see which titles have an ISI® Impact Factor (subscribers of JCR® Web can view actual Impact Factor reports), and identify recommended titles from Magazines for Libraries.
With built-in links to Ulrichsweb.com, Ulrich's Serials Analysis System also gives you access to tables of contents, journal full-text, Open Access publications, and your library's local catalog and link resolver.
