Library and information professionals know better than anyone that the impact
of the information revolution has created a surge in both information
resources and the channels to access them. The availability of
information has grown limitless, but the number of sources has
created a need for efficient selection and management of content.
The internet globalized the market, creating more and more content to oversee. This generates a wide range of selection, licensing and pricing issues and Swets Blackwell sees its role as the one-stop-shop to manage all that. The company's scale and scope allow them to offer access and management services at competitive rates, and the company is constantly thinking of ways to improve services.
As the leading information and subscription services company, Swets Blackwell supports the content requirements of the world's leading academic and research institutions. With the process of acquiring and accessing the world's journal literature becoming increasingly complex, Swets Blackwell makes it easier than ever. Whether librarians prefer print or electronic content, subscriptions or document delivery, web-ordering and self-maintenance or full service support, or any combination of these, we can help. We give customers the best of both worlds: all possible options, self-managed or via a single client service contact.
Subscription services
A significant part of information management within an organization
stems from managing subscriptions to journals, newspapers and
magazines. Swets Blackwell exists to ensure that libraries'
journal subscriptions are ordered, paid for and delivered regardless
of format.
Swets Blackwell provides a wide variety of subscription management solutions for academic, scientific, technical, medical, corporate and government libraries and information centers worldwide. But subscription management is just the beginning. At Swets Blackwell it has been the springboard for a range of complementary products and services designed to meet the needs of almost every kind of organization.
SwetsWise
SwetsWise offers libraries one platform with two modules to meet their needs: SwetsWise online content and SwetsWise subscriptions. The online content module enables management and online access to all your electronic publications, while the subscription module gives full control over all steps of the subscription management process.
SwetsWise online content is the single point of access to the most extensive collection of e-journals currently available. It offers a host of value-added services, such as providing swift access set-up for new e-journal subscriptions and handling claims with publishers. SwetsWise online content gives access to e-journals from the world's leading publishers, providing over 12.5 million searchable references and links to full text articles - including 90% of all available STM publications.
The service gives a complete overview detailing the e-journals ordered in an institution. When libraries use SwetsWise online content, they know which titles are available and when, as well as which ones are actually being used. It allows them to control the process of e-journal access and management, while giving their end-users easy access to the broadest collection of full text articles available.
