Managing a large number of subscriptions can be a frustrating and time consuming process. With SwetsWise it doesn't need to be. SwetsWise is geared towards making the day-to-day management of your existing collection as clear and efficient as possible. Utilize its sophisticated claiming features to manage your subscriptions quickly and easily. Take advantage of the fact that SwetsWise automatically maintains all bibliographic information on your subscriptions. SwetsWise ensures that any cessations, or publications moving from one publisher to another, are updated and reflected, not only in the administrative information, but within the end user access tools as well.
In addition to this, SwetsWise contains a pre-populated database of publisher license information and any subscriptions you have under a license and the status of those licenses will automatically be reflected in the system.

Managing your electronic resources is simplified with SwetsWise as it eliminates the burden of having to maintain the same information on several systems. Not only does SwetsWise automatically maintain this information for you, it also proactively informs you of the changes that are taking place. This way you are always aware of the current status of your collection. As well as the detailed on-screen information, SwetsWise gives you access to one of the most sophisticated management information reporting systems available. These reports will provide you with an insight into the different elements of your collection needed to manage your collection efficiently and effectively.

Of course, effective management of a collection requires more than simply knowing what the current status of your holdings is, it also requires an objective evaluation of each subscription, to determine whether the benefits gained from each publication outweigh their cost. SwetsWise enables you to quickly and comprehensively calculate the cost benefit of the different publications in your collection. The costs of your holdings are compared with the usage of each journal, where both the collection of the usage information and the comparison are handled automatically for you by SwetsWise. This will allow you to make better informed decisions on what to renew and what content doesn’t have an equitable balance of cost and benefit. In essence allowing you to spend your budget wisely.
