Drum-roll, please… and now, the winners of our SLA 2009 drawings!

Posted in Conferences on June 25th, 2009 by Matthew

You can rest assured that if you attend a tradeshow or conference, you will walk away with a bag full of swag. These chotchkies are the vendors’ attempt at capturing your attention in the brief moment they have you before them. Pens, stuffed animals and calendars are standard fare, but most of these trinkets and the people who gave them away are forgotten once the show is over.

We’d like to think that we’re different, though. Not only did we have buttons that spoke to the hearts and minds of the librarians attending SLA 2009, we gave them four chances to win something they could actually use… money! Well, money in the form of $100 gift-cards to their choice of Barnes & Nobles, Starbucks or Amazon.com. So, without further ado, the winners are:

Andrea Oliver: Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Susan Golden: Spiegel and McDiarmid LLP

Nelly Silva: Merck and Co., Inc.

Patricia Alpine: J.R. Simplot Company

Thank you to everyone that came by our booth and helped to make the conference such an enjoyable experience for us. We’ll be back in DC at the end of July for the AALL conference with more buttons and more chances to win. See you there!

2009 SLA Conference

Posted in Conferences on June 8th, 2009 by Matthew

It’s been 100 years since the Special Libraries Association’s first meeting was held in Bretton Woods, NH, and we’ll be celebrating with the community of information professionals at this year’s annual conference in Washington, DC. Last year was our first time at the conference as exhibitors in the Info/Expo, the main exhibit hall where vendors showcase their products and services. We had a great time meeting many of the individuals who make up the information industry, including other vendors, publishers and many of our clients. For the attendees, not only is it a great place to network and make contacts, it’s a great place to pick up some free swag! Last year, we brought pins with sayings on them, such as “This is my librarian costume” and “Libraries: the original search engine”. They were such a hit, that we will be bringing them with us again, with a couple additions. If you’re going to the SLA conference this year (and you should!), make sure to stop by and meet us at booth #537. If you can’t remember our booth number, just keep an eye out for three guys with big smiles and bright orange shirts. For a free pass into the Info/Expo, click here.

You’ve made it to our new website!

Posted in Company News, Research Solutions on June 4th, 2009 by Matthew

This week marks the launch of our updated and improved website at our new domain. While it maintains the look and feel of our previous site, there are some additions that will make your life a bit easier… at least when it comes to document delivery.

The addition of DocTrac is a major improvement on the usability of the site. DocTrac is an online portal where our clients can login and place an order, check the status of requests that are in-progress or view thir order history. If numbers and data are your passion, we’ve included a feature that allows you to create, export and print a report of your choosing. It’s your personal space filled with the information that you need, when you want it.

DocTrac is available to all of our clients after they place their first order. Simply go to the DocTrac login page and enter the email address you provided us and your password. If you don’t know your password or haven’t received one, hit the password retrieval link and follow the directions. Our hope is to make it easier for you to manage your account, your budget and your time more effectively with Research Solutions.

Let us know what you think.
