Coming soon ICE

• Indexed Content Enrichment
• Libraries who have a search and discovery
  platform (such as Aquabrowser or Primo) will be
  able to upgrade their Syndetic Solutions

• Allows library users to find previously hidden
  relevant resources by letting them query our
  summaries/TOCs in their searches
• ICE is an economical alternative to enriching
  MARC records and involves little initial work and
  no ongoing maintenance automatic ISBN linking
