  • Create reports to support the accreditation process
• Save considerable amounts of time, effort and resources in managing your print and electronic serials.
• Provide administrators, faculty and others with reports evaluating the quality of your collections.
• Maintain a credible frame of reference for planning.
• Evaluate your holdings against the Ulrich's Core (academic titles) or Universe (all active titles) and filter by:
  • Ulrich's Subject
  • Peer-reviewed status
  • Electronic availability
  • ISI Impact Factor (mutual subscribers can see details)
  • Katz Magazines for Libraries
  • 3 Library defined fields
  • Share reports with colleagues, departments, and board members - anyone evaluating the library serials holdings.

Viewing System-wide Consortia Reports
Upon completion of the successful upload of the member libraries' ISSN files, the user will have the ability to create a series of Consortia reports that compare the member libraries' collective files (the "Consortium Catalog") to the Ulrich's Universe and the Ulrich's Core. The Consortia Reports provide title-level comparisons of serials by more 1,000 Ulrich's subject classifications, and provide library-specific location information for titles held by multiple member libraries.
