2.8. Adding and Maintaining Information about Your E-Resources


Adding and maintaining information regarding your library’s E-Resources can be done within the Client Center Home Page under “Data Management.” Note - If you are unable to locate Data Management within the Client Center, it likely means that your user account needs to be updated with the appropriate Data Management permissions.



Within the Data Management menu, you will find a list entitled “ Database Name.” This list displays all databases that are compatible to Summon. On the right side of the  Database Name list, you will find a column entitled “Status.” This column displays your library’s current subscription status to each database. Subscription statuses are categorized as  “Subscribed”, “Under Review”, “Not Tracked”, or “From Consortium.” The column labeled “Titles”, located between “Status” and “Provider” displays the amount of full text titles found within the database. You may also notice a small column between “Titles” and “Provider”, without a label. This column is used to display Next Resources that have been added to your profile. If a icon is displayed, by clicking it you are able to get a quick view of E Journal and EBook URL’s , which includes your proxy server prefix. The final column, “Provider” displays the name of the company that provides the library with access to the database. Databases that have a status of Subscribed, will display the providers name in bold.


In the top right corner of the Library Databases screen, you will find three action buttons entitled “Create New Database”, “Edit Status”, and “Show All.” Create New Database gives staff  the option of creating or adding database to the Database Name list that are not currently listed. Edit Status displays check boxes on the left side of the Database Name list, allowing users to make changes to the selected database. Show All allows all databases to display within the list of Library Database.
