Electronic books - Each institution has a unique syllabi and often needs reference books to support their course programs. By offering individually selected electronic book titles, you give faculty and students the ability to view the same book titles simultaneously, therefore eliminating the need to purchase multiple copies. Jones e-global librarians can review your course content and help select relevant titles, or you can share a pre-existing title list for review.
24/7 librarian chat - Not all students are able to research and study during general library hours. When it's two in the morning, who is there to help the students? With 24/7 librarian support, students will always be able to log in and chat online with a MLS or MLIS librarian.
Link resolving - With this electronic resource management system, your institution will have the ability to compare database content, manage subscriptions and contacts for electronic resources and quickly find available full text sources.
