Syndetics offers three platforms: Syndetics Classic, Syndetics Plus and Syndetics ICE Syndetics Classic™ gives libraries more than 40 million unique descriptive data elements relating to books, audio books, and multimedia, and offers more than 25 content enrichment elements to choose from, including cover images, tables of contents, video and music content and profiles, new media clips, and exclusive reviews from The New York Times and other national publications. All enrichment content resides on Bowker’s secure, high-speed Internet servers and is most commonly integrated into library OPACs through automatic links provided by the ISBNs within your local MARC records. For library systems without these automatic links, Syndetics can add URL links to your MARC records, or even add much of the content to your records through Syndetics' MARC Enrichment Service. Designed to integrate with your library’s OPAC, Syndetics Classic offers a wealth of OPAC enrichment options relating to all types of products. Perfect for school, public, and academic libraries, Syndetics™ is fully integrated with all major ILS vendors and offers customized added-value packages to fit the needs of library patrons. SyndeticsPlus™combines Syndetics content enrichment with advanced widget technology, allowing for fast and easy customized implementation that makes the Syndetics content neatly match the look and feel of the OPAC. Syndetics ICE™ (Indexed Content Enrichment) launched in 2007, enhances your patrons’ search experience with a simple keyword function. Results are pulled from book jacket summaries, publisher-provided copy, and fiction profiles, helping library users discover titles that would be undetectable through traditional MARC data searches.
