If your company operates within an industry that requires extensive research, then chances are you’ve invested significantly in research tools.
Although these resources are critical to conducting in-depth research, the tools and how you showcase them can make it difficult for you and your employees to find critical information when you need it. This often leads to low user adoption and prevents the resources from being used to their full potential.

EBSCO Corporate Solutions has outlined ways in which you can enhance the use of your research and development resources, helping you and your employees find the information that you need, when you need it.

3. Give users immediate access to information.
Allow your employees to find the information they need when they need it with immediate access to full-text resources, and easy access to monitoring and alerts tools.
