Abstract

The management of electronic resources has become a crucial need for libraries and documentation centres. The number of e-resources that a library must manage and give access to is continually increasing. Simultaneously, new tools are needed for effective control of information about licenses, overlap between databases, contacts, and technical issues related to e-resources. The Innovative Interfaces e-resources management software, which includes a variety of integrated products that can also be deployed individually with a high level of interoperability with other companies´ products. We highlight Electronic Resources Management (ERM), the WebBridge Link Resolver, ResearchPro (a federated search engine) and the innovative Encore, which has reformulated the traditional opac approach to information access. Innovative Interfaces has also launched the CASE service, which offers coverage data about e-journals and e-resources, with additional services like marc records for e-resources to facilitate their integration in the catalogue.
