IngentaConnect introduces Resource Zone for library administrators
IngentaConnect, the home of scholarly research, is pleased to announce the launch of Resource Zone. This new area of the IngentaConnect website is designed to provide information and materials to support library administrators' usage of Ingenta's flagship web service, which provides subscription and pay-per-view access to over 29,500 publications. The Resource Zone can be reached via the For Librarians menu on the IngentaConnect homepage, or accessed directly at http://www.ingentaconnect.com/about/librarians/ resourcezone.
Visitors to the Resource Zone will find centralised information including downloadable brochures about Ingenta's various library services; how-to tips and user guides to facilitate best use of IngentaConnect's administrator features; materials to assist promotion of online journal access to library patrons; and links to Ingenta's eyetoeye library newsletter, All My Eye technology blog and various "hot topic" articles written by IngentaConnect staff to introduce industry initiatives and developments to administrators.
Speaking of the new resource, Amel Abourachid, Library and End User Services Manager for IngentaConnect, said: "Feedback from our many library administrators indicated that, whilst the information we were previously providing was helpful, we needed to draw it together in a single location for librarians to be able to make best use of it. Resource Zone does just that – and provides lots of new material too. I plan to add further content to this area of the site on a regular basis, to ensure we are giving our library adminstrators maximum support in their usage of IngentaConnect."
For further information about Resource Zone, or Ingenta's suite of library services, please visit the Ingenta stand (54) at the UKSG Annual Conference.
