Document suppliers are suffering at present but Infotrieve is still very busy buying up expertise and making publisher deals – the latest being with John Wiley.Infotrieve has announced the launch of its new federated search solution, ArticleFinder eXtreme (AFX), designed to shorten discovery cycles and deliver cost savings to special libraries by leveraging their existing resources. AFX can be integrated into Infotrieve’s Virtual Library technology platform, allowing users to simultaneously search their library’s holdings, subscription and public databases.

AFX has many features, including in-holdings checks to reduce duplicate orders, merging and sorting of results, automated user authentication for multiple databases, saved search queries as alerts, and usage reporting. It also allows for one-click LinkOut access to full-text articles in electronic collections, the exporting of citations directly into bibliographic citation managers ProCite and EndNote, and integrated ordering through Infotrieve’s Virtual Library for documents not located in a library’s collections.
