Viewing a Group
There are two main reasons for setting up Groups:
- ScienceDirect and Scopus settings such as document delivery, links to other platforms, and additional application preferences can be specified for each group, allowing you to customize how end users in different parts of your organization experience and use Scopus and ScienceDirect, and thus meet their individual needs better.
- ScienceDirect and Scopus usage reports - available at http://usagereports.elsevier.com - can be broken down by group, allowing you to evaluate ScienceDirect and Scopus usage per organizational unit. This can be used to make better informed decisions about information needs within different parts of your organization, and to allocate cost to departments according to usage patterns.
By setting up Groups, you can:
- Display a link from Scopus to the interlibrary loan page of the central library for all Groups, except for the hospital department that uses an international document delivery
provider.
- Display a link from Scopus to a first author search in PubMed only for the medical department.
- Display a specific library banner for a department.
- Allow credit card purchasing on ScienceDirect for researchers in the research lab only, and not for other employees in other locations.
- View ScienceDirect drawdown usage per department to allocate the associated cost accordingly.
