Today’s medical libraries are facing increasingly complex challenges. The nature of their collections has changed dramatically. They have made large investments in digital content, but face the daunting challenge of how to deliver the right content to their users in an easy, simple to use manner.  Staffing limitations, lack of IT resources, and limited time to meet the needs of their researchers only further complicate matters.

In order to help medical libraries address these issues, TDNet has created a comprehensive Technology+Content+Service solution for discovery and management of all of their electronic resources in one simple to use, yet powerful platform: TDNet Discover.

For medical professionals, speedy access to information can often be critical. This motivated TDNet to design and develop solutions that address the needs of medical researchers.  With a large customer base in the medical, biomedical and pharmaceutical industries, TDNet offers unique and cost-effective discovery packages for medical libraries, including access to specialized resources including databases like PubMed, CINAHL, and hundreds more, full text access to thousands of journal titles, and a completely customizable  e-Resource management system.

Medical libraries, doctors and research staff around the world can search and explore entire journal collections using TDNet Discover, regardless of the source or location of the data or the searcher. Citation databases are easily searched with TDNet Discover, linking via OpenURL to support immediate and transparent access to full-text articles.
