More Information on CloudSource OA
Provide more for less
Drawing on a pool of over 40 million articles and books licensed for Open Access, libraries can expand the breadth and depth of their digital collections, track OA usage, and analyze database overlap to develop collection strategies that have greater impact. Many libraries can expand their current article collections and pay a fraction of the price of traditional subscription products.
Support student success
CloudSource OA makes it easier for libraries to support students who are looking for high-quality research materials. With millions of peer-reviewed OA books and articles covering a wide range of disciplines, the library can offer student researchers a wealth of information accessible from anywhere without requiring a library card or pin for access.
Increase library usage
Making research more efficient is one way libraries can demonstrate value in the community. Unlike legacy systems designed to keep content behind a paywall, the CloudSource OA platform has been designed to optimize the end-user experience and integrates with Enterprise making it easy for patrons to find. The CloudSource OA platform saves users time and frustration, leading to return visits.
Promote OA publishing
CloudSource OA makes it easy for the library to highlight OA content and drive its use, which incentivizes future Open Access publishing. While other discovery systems tend to “promote” the OA movement by simply indicating which articles have an available OA version, CloudSource OA highlights open collections, promoting the movement and generating user confidence in the results.
