SilverPlatter ERLŽ

ERL (Electronic Reference Library) is Ovid's versatile TCP/IP networking solution available on the SilverPlatter platform. Featuring flexible client/server technology, and choice of platform (Windows NT/2000 or Solaris), ERL has been the preferred networking solution for thousands of academic institutions worldwide.

Flexible. Powerful. ERL.

With ERL, your institution's network can access an extensive range of high-quality electronic reference information, with intuitive and sophisticated searching made possible through our SPIRSŽ searching clients - WebSPIRS for remote access, and WinSPIRS and MacSPIRS for local access.

In addition, the SilverPlatter platform offers an array of feature enhancements to expand your searching possibilities, and enrich your overall user experience:

For Network Administrators
For network administrators, ERL makes it easy for you to manage even the most complex network environment. And our enhanced administration interface WebAdmin can be accessed from any location, allowing you to quickly perform a variety of tasks.

Completely scaleable - can accommodate any number of users - whether 10 or 10,000 - in high-traffic environments
Easily supports hundreds of SilverPlatter databases across multiple servers
Maintains any combination of local, remote, multi-campus, and consortia-wide access needs
Ensures secure access through IP filtering and administrator managed user name and password set ups
Allows for easy menu management, flexible usage statistics, and streamlined user authentication through web-based administration tools
Provides automatic data transfers for weekly database updates through QUIKdata™, for the most current information available.

The Z39.50 Option for Library Systems
Library Automation Systems can also take advantage of our Z39.50 option, which provides integrated searching through your library's Z39.50 user interface. This option is supported on all ERL platforms and provides enhanced database access through:

Automatic checking of Client IP addresses - eliminates the need for users to enter a username and password
Searching access and editing from the search history screen - users can avoid retyping complex search statements
Greater sort search results options - users can sort by all sort options currently available to SPIRS client users such as author, title or publication year
