SEARCH AND ADMINISTRATION
WebFeat Custom API
Build creative custom WebFeat applications with the WebFeat API. You can either "do-it-yourself," or use WebFeat staff to deliver WebFeat systems customized to your library's specifications.

ACCESS AND AUTHENTICATION
WebFeat Proxy
WebFeat offers a single sign-on, remote authentication for all subscription e-resources with nothing to install or configure. Remote users simply log in once to access as many of the library's resources as they like and are never re-prompted for authentication.

USAGE TRACKING AND REPORTING
SMART Usage Tracker
WebFeat's SMART Usage Tracker provides a wealth of information about database usage at your library.
SMART offers a suite of convenient web reports, including search and full text requests by resource, aggregate usage, search terms, turnaways, native response time and journal names/ISSN numbers requested by users.
