Swets and MuseGlobal Partner to Deliver New SwetsWise Searcher Hosted Solution.Swets expands SwetsWise platform and provides organizations with a complete range of options to meet varied federated search needs.November 27, 2006 Swets, continuing its commitment to simplify the complexities of e-resource access, acquisition and management, announces the launch of the SwetsWise Searcher hosted service. It is the result of a strategic alliance between Swets and MuseGlobal, Inc. The latest addition to the SwetsWise platform, the new SwetsWise Searcher extends the offering to two versions: SwetsWise Searcher hosted version, which provides an economical federated search option for organizations that prefer off-site implementation and SwetsWise Searcher Enterprise, the existing version that is implemented locally on the customer’s servers. "Content access demands are intensifying and launching this partnership with MuseGlobal means we are filling a critical gap within the worldwide community of information professionals and end-users," stated Arie Jongejan, Chief Executive Officer of Swets. "Our new hosted version of SwetsWise Searcher results in another significant component in our extensive suite of SwetsWise e-access and management tools. It perfectly complements our existing enterprise-level federated search service and is further proof of our commitment to simplifying access to electronic content." SwetsWise Searcher delivers an "out-of-the-box" Web-based federated search service that facilitates quick, streamlined implementation. For a single competitive price, customers can select up to 30 source packages from a comprehensive list. A source package to SwetsWise Online Content-Swets' e-journal gateway providing a single point of access to one of most extensive collections of e-journals available worldwide—is automatically included. Unique capabilities such as searching open access catalogs and exporting citation information to popular citation management software in real-time will be included. Individual users will also be able to save search results in their own "Personal WorkRoom" and set many search preferences using SwetsWise Searcher's personalized profile capabilities. Its web-based utilities enable control over the configuration and customization process, allowing customer administrators to change interface and system options without assistance from Swets.
