Swets to Pre-Launch SwetsWise Selection Support at ALA Midwinter Meeting

Swets, the world’s leading subscription services company, will pre-launch the new SwetsWise Selection Support module at the ALA Midwinter Conference, in Denver, CO, January 23-26, 2009, in booth 1642.

SwetsWise Selection Support offers the most powerful decision support service available by combining the customer’s usage statistics matched to their subscription holdings and pricing. This results in an integrated price-per-use overview for collection analysis, with the flexibility to include additional customer-specific data. Data is pre-populated in the tool, making SwetsWise Selection Support the most comprehensive solution of its kind.

“SwetsWise Selection Support revolutionizes how libraries will view collection value in the future,” stated Debbie Dore, Swets Chief Commercial Officer. “In today’s economic climate, libraries want ‘smart’, relevant decision support tools to more effectively analyze their investment in e-resources. Our SwetsWise Selection Support technology meets this need by taking the guesswork out of libraries’ purchasing decisions.”

Powered by the award-winning ScholarlyStats for usage statistics and SwetsWise for extensive subscription data, reporting is available at account and consortium levels, as well as customized reporting. Holdings and price information will be automatically maintained and updated by SwetsWise, including any new subscriptions. Customer-specific fields may be added, along with free text and file uploads, offering a high level of flexibility.

Swets will show demonstrations of SwetsWise Selection Support daily during ALA Midwinter in booth 1642. The service will be available for purchase in March 2009.
