We’ve added a new feature that allows libraries to customize the display of You May Also Like, Syndetics Unbound’s readers’ advisory tool for discovering new titles. You May Also Like contains several different types of recommendations based on similar titles, similar series, and even similar authors. Opening “See More Recommendations” goes even deeper, suggesting titles from the collection based on tags, genres, and more. With this new customization, you can choose which components of the You May Also Like recommendations to display, both in your catalog and in the “see more” lightbox.
ProQuest has reached an agreement with Patron Point to include Syndetics Unbound elements in their newsletter service. Recommends, is a reading recommendation service that helps libraries market content to their patrons and increase engagement and usage of their collection. Recommends helps users create eye-catching, branded monthly newsletters for new titles from the library’s catalog enriched with recommendations, summaries, and covers from Syndetics Unbound. The newsletters connect patrons straight to the library catalog to place a hold on the titles or search for other content.
Syndetics Unbound is excited and pleased to announce that we have worked with Patron Point, a library marketing automation partner, to offer Patron Point Recommends™ – a new reading recommendation service that helps public libraries market content to their patrons, increasing engagement and usage. Patron Point Recommends automatically creates eye-catching, branded monthly newsletters for new titles from a library’s catalog enriched with LibraryThing recommendations and summaries, and covers from the Syndetics Unbound service.
