Endeavor: integrated access to information regardless of its location or format
Abstract
Endeavor Information Systems, now wholly owned subsidiaries of Elsevier Science Inc, are relative newcomers to the Library Management System market with Voyager targeted at academic and research libraries. An impressive customer list (of over 750) includes the Library of Congress, the libraries of Finland, and in the UK the University of Hertfordshire, much of the University of Wales, National Library of Scotland and new customer Cambridge University. A fully functional integrated library system, Voyager can be extended to integrate MARC catalogued bibliographic databases (citation server) and to manage digitisation projects and integrate images with the OPAC (image server). Their latest, standalone product ENCompass seeks to integrate digital material catalogued to any metadata standard. This article is based on an interview with Cindy Edgington Miller, Endeavor’s Director of the Digital Library Division.
