Smarter Data-Driven
Usage Insights.

Smarter Data-Driven Usage Insights

Reduce the guesswork of budgeting and forecasting.

Summary reporting let you make better, more informed decisions to plan and validate your expenses. Notifications give you timely information on usage—and let you know when preset thresholds have been met. Get insightful information—with real usage data by user, title, publisher, Open Access, and delivery method.

"Institutions can implement AGS a number of ways, depending on the problems they are seeking to solve. The setup of AGS can focus on controlling cost, speeding up delivery time, allowing users access to a broad range of new content, or providing access to content in a low friction way via the institution’s discovery layer."
— Felicity Walsh, MIT Libraries

Configurable Workflow

Customize for fit and precision.

Your rules, processes, and regulations are unique. Article Galaxy Scholar’s sharp customization options allow you to configure user, journal, publisher, and purchasing settings to fit your content demands. It lets you develop a solid plan for a variety of access options—ensuring you’ll never be surprised by unexpected charges or access you didn’t intend to provide—and make changes or course-correct as needed.

Don’t have an Open Access filter?

We’re working with Unpaywall, in addition to conducting our own internal checks, to provide you with a thorough Open Access filter that ensures you never have to pay for content that’s already freely available.

“AGS is "a really positive way that we have been able to provide continued access to titles where we have cancelled subscriptions and still meet users needs"
— Jennifer Carroll, Collection Management Librarian, University of New Hampshire

Strategic
Cost Savings

Strategic Cost Savings

Invest in Long-Term Savings and Efficiency.

Stay on budget and strategically control spend—by providing access when it matters. Article Galaxy Scholar lets you allow specified users to order articles immediately, while providing other users with an alternative path to access content when the need isn’t as timely. Improve your users’ experience, keep them in the library, and gain the usage insight you need to plan for the future.

“UCSD library is excited to offer a clean, simple, and improved service to our patrons. Because it is unmediated, AGS is actually relieving some staff time so we are able to focus on other work."
— Judea D'Arnaud, Director, Content Acquisition & Resource Sharing, University of California San Diego
