WebFeat Enterprise Edition

With multi-library networks, the whole is far greater than the sum of the parts.

Networks have special requirements – granular authentication, profiling, usage tracking, and more. Single-library products are inadequate to the task. The choice of solutions can make the difference between a professional implementation and a long and costly project.

No one knows networks better than WebFeat. WebFeat Enterprise Edition delivers professional solutions backed by years of experience. More networks use WebFeat than any other provider. Why?

WebFeat Enterprise Edition addresses every unique network requirement:

• Authentication - Networks require discrete multi-library identification and authentication into the federated system. WebFeat Enterprise Edition supports all major site authentication methods, including IP and referrer URL.

• Profiling - The ability to present different views and access privileges to different member libraries. WebFeat Enterprise Edition offers the ability to set up an infinite number of profiles. Profiles may include different database lists, authentication credentials, even completely different look and feel. WebFeat Enterprise Edition also offers the ability to seamlessly augment common network-wide database collections with those from individual member libraries.

• Usage tracking - The Enterprise Edition of WebFeat’s SMART usage tracker can report enterprise-wide usage, or usage by each individual member library.
  

WebFeat Enterprise Edition includes:

• WebFeat Search Prism - The industry leading search engine behind WebFeat Custom and WebFeat Express--used by over 5,000 academic, public, and special libraries, as well 16 state libraries and statewide networks.

• SMART usage tracker - Enterprise Edition – tracks and reports database usage across the network and by individual library.

• WebFeat Administrative Console - enables administrators to quickly and easily change system configuration. Includes handshake with EBSCO’s A-to-Z® console.

• Network authentication manager - Manages multi-library authentication and profiling.

• WebFeat API - the option to build custom applications using the WebFeat API is available.
