As subscription database costs keep rising, libraries are looking for new ways to expand access while managing budgets. CloudSource OA gives one-click access to about 100 million open-access articles, eBooks and OER. It helps libraries strengthen collections and improve the user experience at no additional content cost. CloudSource+ extends discovery across open and subscription resources, combining a comprehensive open-access collection with nearly one billion closed-access records.

Our partnership with Article Galaxy Scholar takes this further. Users are routed to open-access content first, then to the library’s subscriptions. If full text isn’t available through either, they can get on-demand access to articles from more than 43,000 peer-reviewed journals. This lets libraries focus collection spending on their key subscriptions. Users still get full text they would otherwise need a low-usage or high-OA-overlap database for, so the library can re-evaluate those databases.

Join our panel of experts to see how CloudSource, CloudSource+ and Article Galaxy Scholar deliver content-neutral relevancy, seamless access, and a smarter approach to collection development and resource discovery.

CloudSource+ represents a transformative approach to the management, discovery, and delivery of digital resources. Unlike traditional models, SirsiDynix is not dependent on content subscription revenue, allowing the company to prioritize software innovation and user experience. The result is a discovery interface designed to connect users with full-text content in the most intuitive and efficient way possible.

Join this session to explore how CloudSource+ can help your library reduce costs, expand access to high-quality resources, and enhance user satisfaction through a modern, streamlined discovery experience.

In late summer 2024, Hampden-Sydney College made the decision not to renew their long-standing contract with EBSCO for their discovery layer and take the leap in adopting CloudSource+, the new, OA-forward discovery platform from SirsiDynix. This journey involved evaluation of their current services, subscriptions, needs of their users, and how much of scholarly content was actually OA. Join us as we explore the reasons behind the migration and learn about HSC’s implementation experience from both the customer and SirsiDynix perspective.

CloudSource+ makes it easy to discover and access your subscribed content as well as tens of millions of OA articles. But what about unsubscribed, embargoed, archived, and “longtail” content that you may not have access to? That’s where CCC’s award winning Get It Now article delivery service can help. Used by over 550 colleges and universities around the world, Get It Now provides cost-effective, immediately delivery of non-subscribed journal content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
