Abstract:

The growing spectrum of electronic information resources made Thomas Bata University in Zlín consider acquiring an effective tool to manage them. Although currently not very widespread in the Czech Republic, the well established technology SFX was chosen. Thomas Bata University thus became the fourth organization in the Czech Republic to make full use of this technology. SFX is a great helper for orientation in electronic information resources which brings readers only a single mouse click away from the full text of a document. But there is also a whole other side to the technology embodied by advanced services. SFX provides not only many means to customize the environment but also different ways to enhance the portfolio of offered services. An effective setup of these services is both very challenging for the librarians and very helpful for the end user. For instance, these services are able to make available the information about location of the searched book, verify availability of the source magazine, obtain information about the author or enable the user to easily get the requested document by means of ILS or DDS services. This paper is a case study of implementation of SFX at Thomas Bata University in Zlín and the resulting advanced services it brought to users.
