ArticleReach

ArticleReach is a unique consortial borrowing system that provides users with print or full-text electronic articles not available from their local library. This latest library-productivity tool from Innovative lets your library staff work smarter and leaves your patrons more satisfied with your online services.

Using a central catalog, ArticleReach evaluates library holdings and delivers requests to the appropriate supplier. Innovative's one-touch fulfillment frees local staff from receiving and mediating requests, verifying citations, identifying sources, and contacting suppliers. Only the lending library has to do anything, speeding fulfillment and lowering costs. When the ArticleReach system receives an article electronically, the document can be posted automatically to a web server and made available to a patron within minutes of the request.

ArticleReach makes getting an article is as simple as saying, "I want it!" Users don't have to search multiple libraries or databases because they can find what they need in one place. ArticleReach also brings requesting to where patrons need it -- providing access from a link-resolver citation, union catalog, or your library's online request form. They can monitor the article's delivery status right in their My Millennium patron record and are always are notified by email when it's fulfilled.

Best of all, ArticleReach integrates with INN-Reach for a total resource-sharing solution, unprecedented in its cost-effectiveness and power. With resource sharing fundamental to how libraries do business, Innovative provides the trusted solutions to get print and electronic materials into users' hands as quickly as possible.
