Syndetics Unbound Content Now Included in Patron Point Recommends

April 15, 2021. ProQuest has reached an agreement with Patron Point to include Syndetics Unbound elements in their newsletter service. Recommends, is a reading recommendation service that helps libraries market content to their patrons and increase engagement and usage of their collection.

Recommends helps users create eye-catching, branded monthly newsletters for new titles from the library's catalog enriched with recommendations, summaries, and covers from Syndetics Unbound. The newsletters connect patrons straight to the library catalog to place a hold on the titles or search for other content. They can also automatically promote events and other library news.

The newsletters are built and sent automatically – no staff time required – and based on flexible design templates. Customers who subscribe to both Recommends and Syndetics Unbound will additionally benefit from:

  • Enriched corresponding information between the library's newsletter content and what's available in the catalog.
  • The ability to enrich newsletters with the same Book Display Widgets that are displayed using the Unbound content on the library's website.
  • Recommendations that are 100% in the library catalog.
  • Continuity of images across the catalog and Recommends.

At a time when it's more crucial than ever to stay connected with patrons, Recommends provides a simple and easy way to do so. Schedule a demo and learn more about what Recommends can do for your library.
