Customer Care

“When we find errors and report them to Serials Solutions they are cooperative ... enthusiastic, even, about getting it right.”

Judith E. Stokes

Serials/E-Resources Librarian, Rhode Island College

Serials Solutions has a well-deserved reputation for superior service and support. We are committed to customizing and deploying your implementation quickly with virtually no effort by your staff. All client libraries receive unlimited support and free feature upgrades and enhancements. Our value-added consulting services can help you optimize e-resource acquisition and usage at your library, and achieve the best experiences for your librarians and patrons.

Customization and Implementation Services

Customization

We believe it is important that the libraries determine the best user experience for their patrons, so we provide the tools to ensure that your site looks like yours. We customize your site before implementation, and provide tools and services to help you customize features and functionalities. In addition, available XML APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) enable you to customize and further develop our services to meet your unique needs.

Implementation

Providing Software as a Service makes it easy for us to get your library set up quickly. You have no software to install, no servers to set up, no additional hardware to purchase. Our SaaS solutions make it easy for libraries to acquire and implement e-resource management tools. They provide powerful, easy-to-use tools for patrons to search and access e-resources.

Support Services

All client libraries receive unlimited support and free service enhancements. We hire friendly and knowledgeable staff, most with graduate library degrees, who take pride in making technology accessible and useful. In client surveys, the most common rating of our support service is “excellent.”

These Web-based seminars are tailored to specific audiences and topics. Whether you are just beginning to learn about e-resources, or want a deeper understanding of specific features, a steady schedule of free webinars is available to you.
