Stacks
Stacks is a web-based content management system (CMS) designed to enhance the digital research experience for libraries and their users. It offers a suite of features that allows libraries to integrate catalogs with databases and other e-resources, enabling a unified search experience. Users can access content such as news, events, and both physical and digital collections through a single search box. The platform also allows for easy customization of library websites through user-friendly themes and layouts that are responsive on all devices.
In addition, Stacks facilitates the management of events, room bookings, and user content through a centralized interface. The system supports Single Sign-On (SSO) via OpenAthens, streamlining access by requiring users to log in only once. Notably, Stacks integrates seamlessly with EBSCO Discovery Service, providing a comprehensive search capability that combines library catalogs and electronic resources. This integration ensures that users receive relevant results efficiently, enhancing their research capabilities. EBSCO, a leading provider of research databases and e-resources, underpins this platform, further enriching the library experience.
