SwetsWise Title Bank Launched

Swets Information Services announced today that it has launched SwetsWise
Title Bank, a customized gateway to a library's entire online and print
holdings. Swets' new listing service is part of the company's far-reaching
e-journals management drive.

SwetsWise Title Bank enables Swets' clients to customize their entire list
of electronic subscription links whether they originate from external
databases, publisher websites or SwetsWise Online Content. Swets' new
service assists customers in maintaining optimum control of their
electronic resources and providing maximum full-text access to all titles.
Features will include the ability to browse title and subject lists,
conduct title and subject searches and consult both title and
article-level usage data.

SwetsWise Title Bank has recently undergone an intensive global beta
testing phase conducted by Swets' customers as well as members of the
Swets International Customer Advisory Board. SwetsWise Title Bank's second
version will be released later this year with additional features.

"SwetsWise Title Bank is a publication listing service with a difference,"
remarked John Martin, Swets' Director Business Development & Marketing,
"Since Swets already maintains customers' subscription information, every
new order or renewal can be instantaneously processed in the library's
listing, offering a crucial service while reducing libraries'
administrative burdens."

"Coupled with a very rapidly growing electronic subscription service, we
are seeing strong demand for new products and services that bring the full
benefit of electronic journals holdings to libraries and end-users," said
Steven Hartman, Swets' Chief Commercial Officer, "SwetsWise Title Bank is
the latest addition to our portfolio of services and part of a three-year
major investment drive that will bring significant benefits to our
partners and re-define our position in the market."
