RESEARCHit is a sophisticated, federated search solution that allows researchers to simultaneously search a broad range of e-content resources and yield a common de-duplicated and relevant result set.
RESEARCHit deploys cutting edge connectivity to conduct searching of all major vendors’ subscription-based content using each vendors’ Application Programming Interface (API) or XML gateway.
The fully integrated authentication component can use either the NCIP or the SIP2 protocol to authorize a user against the ILS. RESEARCHit also supports remote patron authentication via LDAP, custom application links or a database and provides authorization options based on the needs of library patrons and staff.
RESEARCHit can be purchased alone or bundled with Auto-Graphics’ other library and ILL automation software. Request more information using the form on the right.
The first step is to learn more. Here's how we can answer your questions:
Please note: We always respect your privacy.
Established as leaders in our field, we see our software as we see our clients: striving to be the best.
An unlimited number of unique patron or user categories can be created to provide an additional level of authorization and control over the access to specific resources. Each user category can be configured with its own tailored set of resources, messages of the day and designed look and feel. In addition, a replication function within the software allows staff to both update and make a copy of settings and configuration information from one group to any number of groups in the system.
Your patron’s ability to find relevant information is increased due to RESEARCHit’s robust de-duplication functionality and your ability to configure search results on the page. Libraries are able to help their patrons avoid ‘information overload’ with intelligent results management that limits the number of search hits per database.
Clients have the ability to integrate federated search into their existing software applications using RESEARCHit’s improved XML-based Web Services module. This module provides patrons with a streamlined workflow and better access to multiple information silos.
RESEARCHit gives you the ability to track onsite access vs. remote access, compare basic vs. advanced searches, identity databases that are being used, in addition to accessing detailed information on website traffic and system activity. This detailed information allows you to monitor usage and make informed collection development decisions.
RESEARCHit provides quality, authoritative search, away from the unfiltered results obtained on the open web – so your patrons get the best resources in their search results.
Our clients include thousands of users from over 70 countries from multinationals, governments, NGOs and Not-for-Profits to academic institutions.
