WebPublisher Cart / ESP Options

WP Cart thumbnail

Our WebPublisher Cart solution allows your users to request or order items from their WebPublisher PRO search results. Similar to an e-commerce shopping cart, users can easily add, remove, and view items at any time while browsing your organization's database.

ESP (Email/Save/Print) is a customized add-on option to Inmagic's line of WebPublisher products, and is a complimentary product to our WebPublisher Cart solution. ESP allows users to select items from search results and then:

  • email selections to themselves and others
  • print selections from the browser in a choice of layouts
  • download selections from the browser in a choice of text formats

The download and print options offer a choice of formats based on DB/TextWorks forms. These can therefore include Inmagic tagged format, EndNote, various citation styles, Excel-style CSV, generic delimited text, etc.
