SwetsWise Enhanced by New Japanese, Chinese and Spanish Interfaces

Swets Information Services announced today that it has added new SwetsWise
interfaces in Japanese, traditional Chinese and Spanish to its existing
offering of English, French, German and Swedish. SwetsWise is Swets'
online service for the procurement, access and management of subscriptions
and online information.

To fully extend the benefits of localization and further boost its
"Gateway to China" publisher services program, Swets will launch an
additional simplified Chinese interface in early 2005. The newly launched
language versions are part of Swets' far-reaching drive to reduce the
complexity and expense involved in e-journal management.

"As an international company we need to think global and act local. For
SwetsWise that means we can develop Swets' global development strength and
pass on the localized service benefits to our customers," stated John
Martin, Swets' Chief Commercial Officer, "Localized interfaces, pop-up
messages and e-mails greatly expand SwetsWise's user friendliness for all
Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish speaking librarians, information
specialists, and SwetsWise users."

SwetsWise offers one platform with two modules: SwetsWise Subscriptions
and SwetsWise Online Content. The subscription module gives full control

leading publishers. SwetsWise Online Content boasts over 13 million
