The GIST Team and IDS Project are pleased to announce that the next 
generation of GIST tools have been released and are ready for you to 
customize and streamline your acquisitions, collection development, and 
interlibrary loan processes & workflow.

New GIST Tool:

The GIST Acquisitions Manager is a new type of acquisitions system built 
within ILLiad using new GIST tables and GIST Addons. It provides…

Management of fund/budgets - with immediate fund balance checking at the 
point of review or purchasing:
GIST matches the funds with the requesters automatically.
GIST manages a single ILL purchase on demand fund as well handling large 
sets of collection development funds.

Custom Conspectus - GIST recommends purchase or review when a request 
meets your collection building profile:
Enable purchasing where ILL requests for materials are not held in your 
consortia but fit your collection building profile.
Adjust almost 1,600 Library of Congress classification and Dewey 
divisions to highlight where you want to grow your collection.

Streamlined and flexible acquisition workflow
Using GIST, you customize the services and process the way you want to 
enhance your ILL purchase on demand or fully share buy-borrow strategies 
that build a strong and diverse collection.
Based on valued data, route requests automatically and make decisions 
about buy or borrow fast.

Select the web services you want in your workflow; Connexion, Gobi, etc. 
including adding some 30 addons:

Also in this release - a new discovery widget for your standalone ILLiad 
request form:

Requesters only have to add an author and title, or use an ISBN to 
search Worldcat from within the blank request form to discover exactly 
what they want you to buy or borrow - this helps you streamline your 
workflows and provide accurate services.
