Summary:
"At its core, JournalClick automates the work of finding relevant research and sends content directly to libraries and their users. While manual searching is incredibly valuable JournalClick’s ability to push relevant articles as they are published is set to help searchers save a huge amount of time as well as ensure that they have access to all the latest content at their fingertips ... For librarians the new module offers an array of benefits. Staff enjoy the flexibility to create custom built organizational dashboards which issue a daily inventory of relevant new articles. Librarians can then keep an inventory of research articles, view a summary of new daily content and send these to users as they please. Libraries wishing to fine-tune their article searching strategy can also sign up for JournalClick’s frequent alerts service. This innovative feature actively issues alerts when relevant articles are published and ensures that both libraries and their users receive up-to-the-minute information on pre-specified key requirements. Another key benefit of the library module is the platform’s ultra-intuitive suggestion function. Just like popular shopping websites such as Amazon, this feature actively notes what content is being viewed and offers library users tailor made suggestions based on what other users have previously surveyed. The dynamic community based approach is designed to guide researchers on a unique ‘learning path’ which enriches the scope of search results and shaves hours off time spent locating relevant content. Users are also set to enjoy the benefits of JournalClick’s all-new library specific module. The ability to set up a personalized dashboard allows users to receive automatic updates on new research articles as soon as they hit Open Access world ..."
