EBSCO Adds Change Reports to Its A-to-Z Locator Tool
EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO; www.ebsco.com) recently upgraded its EBSCO A-to-Z web-based resource locator tool with the addition of a Knowledge Base Change Reports feature, which, among other benefits, allows librarians to instantly see which titles have been added or removed from their aggregated full-text databases.EBSCO A-to-Z is designed to offer the effective management of online titles from individual ejournals, ejournal packages, ebook packages, and aggregated full-text databases. The new Knowledge Base change reports enable library staff members to more easily identify content changes to their collections at large. Also, with the added ability to view titles affected by EBSCO A-to-Z’s automatic update of titles in databases and fixed packages, customers can now more efficiently administer their EBSCO A-to-Z lists when changes are necessary. Library staff members can also use the Knowledge Base change reports as a resource when preparing collection awareness announcements that reveal newly accessible titles to end users. The new Knowledge Base change reports can be downloaded in multiple file formats allowing EBSCO A-to-Z customers to efficiently update their catalogs and other content products. EBSCO A-to-Z customers can also access recorded demonstrations within their A-to-Z Administrator sites as well as register for complimentary online training at http://training.ebsco.com.
