Swets Information Services, the leading global subscription and information services company, announced today that it has launched SwetsWise Linker as part of its far-reaching e-journals management drive. SwetsWise Linker is an OpenURL link resolver providing users with a cohesive search environment for over 9,000 e-journals and 500 e-journal aggregators and secondary databases.

SwetsWise Linker enables libraries to integrate all of their electronic holdings resources in one intuitive and customizable interface, providing seamless linking from one article's bibliographic information to another's full text. Based on Openly Informatics' proven 1Cate technology (1 Click Access to Everything), SwetsWise Linker dramatically reduces the number of steps needed to move from one resource to another.

Eric Hellman, Founder and President of Openly Informatics, Inc., noted, "With the addition of Openly's NISO-1.0 OpenURL resolution to SwetsWise Linker, Swets' customers will have state-of-the-art linking combined with state-of-the-art convenience in managing their electronic collections."

"SwetsWise Linker ensures maximum linking convenience for all Swets' customers and can be fully integrated into libraries' operating systems," remarked John Martin, Director of Business Development & Marketing. "In addition, this powerful link resolver includes monthly updates of Swets' subscription information, excellent statistics reporting and immediate, no-tech implementation--in other words, a significant addition to Swets' suite of e-access services."
