“Much of the work I used to do [with a competitive system] is done by the people behind the 360 Link service. The database is updated daily by Serials Solutions. If you have a choice, use 360 Link.”

360 Link provides the most accurate, up-to-date results when searching for specific full-text items in databases and journals

As your electronic collection grows, and patrons face increasing challenges to finding specific full-text articles, you may want to ask yourself these questions:

• How much time do patrons spend searching A&I databases to access full text?
• How often do they give up?
• How often are ILL requests issued when the title is accessible in the library?

Quick and easy access to content

Whether they start their search in a Web search engine, an OpenURL-enabled database, or with a print citation, you can save patrons time, effort, and frustration. 360 Link gives your library the power to deliver efficient access to full text anywhere in your collection.

Powered by Serials Solutions® KnowledgeWorks

360 Link is the authoritative solution for providing access to your electronic collection. 360 Link is powered by Serials Solutions® KnowledgeWorks, the most complete, accurate, and up-to-date knowledgebase available. KnowledgeWorks data enables 360 Link to deliver the highest number of links and the most accurate links, even if an ISSN is missing or a journal title is incorrect.

Integrates with other solutions for complete access

360 Link interoperates with your ILS and incorporates more than 1,000 databases and resources such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and others. Custom linking to services such as RefWorks, WorldCat, and ILL services bridges the gap between internal and external resources. With KnowledgeWorks as its foundation, 360 Link also integrates with 360 management services.

Highly customizable

A variety of customization options also are available so that you can define your local user experience and enable your patrons to access “best available” links from a single location: You can choose the order of databases and resource links, the style of citation display, and which custom services to offer.

Focus on patrons, not IT headaches

360 Link can be customized, configured, and implemented within one week. 360 Link is hosted on Serials Solutions servers, so that you do not have to manage backups, maintenance, or updates. Serials Solutions also provides a steady flow of new and immediately available features and functionality year round.
