Serials Solutions is a division of ProQuest [ [http://www.serialssolutions.com/about.html About us] , Serials Solutions] that provides e-resource access and management services (ERAMS) to libraries. These products enable librarians to more easily manage electronic resources that serve the needs of their patrons.

History

Serials Solutions was conceived of in 1999 over beers by brothers Steve McCracken, Mike McCracken, and Peter McCracken after recognizing that providing relief to the frustrations of library patrons in navigating electronic resources was a profitable domain to pursue.

Serials Solutions incorporated in March 2000. The business grew from a four-man operation run out of the McCrackens' basement to a multi-million dollar company in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington.

During the company's first year of operation, co-founder Peter McCracken worked on this emerging company while simultaneously working full-time as a reference librarian at the University of Washington's Odegaard Undergraduate Library.Peter McCracken: Librarian as Entrepreneur; How a University of Washington reference librarian helped launch one of the hottest companies in the library market, Library Journal, August 01, 2001, Features; Pg. 44, 2287 words, By Norman Oder; Norman Oder is Associate Editor, LJ]
