Serials Solutions has launched new 360 Search federated search service, which it claims to combine the features of 360 Search and WebFeat platforms with new capabilities that enables users to control their search.
The company claims that the new 360 Search is full of tools that make it easy to search and find the most relevant and useful content. A streamlined administration console enables simplified branding and resource sharing for library groups. The simple search interface unifies results for e-journals, eBooks, and local holdings and then sorts thousands of results into clusters and facets that make it easy to cut through clutter and find meaningful content.
The new 360 Search provides access to over 4,600 databases worldwide through more than 2300 of the connections available. It also supports localisation in over twenty languages, with the ability for users to change interface language, the company said.
The company said that the new 360 Search includes 360 Core and is managed through its Client Center, the central location for administration of all its 360 services and access-point for the support center and user community.
Rob Mercer, general manager of Serials Solutions, said: The recent acquisition of WebFeat by Serials Solutions changed the federated search market. We were given the opportunity to combine the top two leading federated search services into the single most powerful and feature-packed solution available. The new 360 Search combines proven technology, world-class service, phenomenal support, and great value to create a complete research toolbox.
