The world's becoming SwetsWise: Swets launches SwetsWise 
Subscriptions Library Edition

Swets is proud to announce that, following a successful six-week 
Beta testing period, SwetsWise Subscriptions Library Edition is 
now available for all customers.

SwetsWise Subscriptions Library Edition is the most comprehensive 
and sophisticated subscriptions management and procurement 
service currently available. It provides librarians with a single 
platform from which they can control subscriptions investment, 
improve the management of electronic journal licenses and reduce 
the amount of time and effort needed to manage subscriptions.

Featuring improved technology and enhanced capabilities, 
SwetsWise Subscriptions Library Edition replaces the long-running 
and highly successful DataswetsConnect service. Key customers 
from the US and UK took part in the Library Edition Beta testing 
phase, spending the past six weeks comprehensively using and 
evaluating the new service. Feedback has been extremely positive.

"SwetsWise Subscriptions Library Edition really is a big 
improvement over the services that I have used previously," says 
Paola Zandegiacomo of The London School of Economics and 
Political Science (LSE). "I like the new possibility of being 
able to see if we need a license for an e-journal, or if access 
to a new e-subscription has been granted. Also, being able to 
edit our order numbers live on screen and download reports 
immediately when needed is really very helpful and will save us a 
great deal of time, especially during our financial rollover."

"With our SwetsWise portfolio, customers gain the simplicity of a 
single solution for searching, accessing, managing and evaluating 
all of their subscriptions," said Arie Jongejan, CEO of Swets. 
"SwetsWise Subscriptions Library Edition is the key component in 
that portfolio and, thanks to the enthusiastic response from our 
Beta testers, we are thrilled to offer this new and exciting 
service to our customers."

Key features of SwetsWise Subscriptions Library Edition include 
full claim functionality for both electronic and print 
subscriptions, as well as downloadable online reports. Clear 
status reports on e-licenses are also available, providing 
invaluable information for customers. Later this year, Swets will 
add further information on e-licenses and include new 
functionalities related to its Consolidation service into the 
Library Edition.

Swets will migrate existing DataswetsConnect customers to the new 
service in the coming months. New customers can order SwetsWise 
Subscriptions Library Edition immediately.
