Ares (from Atlas Systems, Inc.)

What is Ares?

The Ares system automates library reserve services, provides around-the-clock access to reserves collections including integrated copyright management services and provides fast, effective use for faculty, students, and reserve staff.

Copyright Management

Ares allows for different methods of copyright management. To help keep track of items, reserve staff can make notations if copyright is required or if copyright has already been obtained. Atlas Systems has partnered with Copyright Clearance Center so libraries can easily secure copyright permissions for their electronic reserves materials using the standard rights management gateway or the new annual subscription service.

Freedom of Format

Ares allows for any type of file format to be added into the system ranging from Microsoft Office documents to mp3 files. Library staff has ultimate control over which types of files they will allow on their system.

Open URL

The Open URL feature allows teaching faculty to submit request for electronic reserve materials via the library's local catalog.

Z39.50

Ares has a built in Z39.50 interface to make searching for library owned material easier. Reserve desk staff can easily search the catalog, import shelving location and call number information then print pull slips to retrieve materials.

Customizable Web Pages

The Ares web pages use a template-based system allowing libraries to markup the standard HTML web pages based on work-flow needs or library branding.

Access Control

To ensure only authorized users have access to reserve items, Ares has 3 possible access control options. They are, no restriction, limit access via a class password or limit access via a student id number.

Other Features Include

System Authentication, Users Hot List, Usage Tracking, Twain Compliant and Ares can provide alerts to students when new materials have been added for a specific course.
