Research Solutions announced the global launch of Article Galaxy Scholar (AGS). The first platform of its kind, AGS offers a one-stop solution to connect end-users to Open Access articles, purchase options, or interlibrary loan to fulfill their full-text needs. Working in concert with the library's link resolver and discovery service, the platform can extend holdings at the article level without duplicating expense or increasing demand on interlibrary loan resources.
Solution Highlights: Easy to set up and integrate with your existing library systems and workflows. Delivers full-text PDFs directly to the patron's inbox in minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Provides data-driven usage insights to monitor budget usage, inform acquisition and collection development planning, and validate expenses. Configurable, flexible administrative controls can be customized to match the library's rules, processes, and budget.

The Company provides two service offerings to its customers: a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) research platform (Platforms) typically sold through annual auto-renewing license agreements and the sale of published scientific, technical, and medical (STM) content sold as individual articles (Transactions) through the Platform. Its cloud-based SaaS research platform consists of proprietary software and Internet-based interfaces sold to customers for an annual subscription fee.
