Client Center: This is where clients log in to manage their services and accounts. The Client Center includes news, the Support Center (for help documentation), Data Management, the E-Journal Portal Administration Console, and a host of other service-management tools, depending on which services a library subscribes to.

360 Core: This is the basic service in the 360 suite of products and is included with all other 360 services. It is the repository and basis of all the data and metadata in your library's profile. It includes your administrative interface (the Client Center) and your patron interface (the E-Journal Portal).

360 Link: This ProQuest service is an OpenURL link resolver that links a library's entire collection of resources. It allows users to quickly link from abstracts and indexes to the full-text content of an article.

Summon: A discovery service that pulls together all of your library’s collections – including electronic content licensed by NC LIVE, electronic content you license on your own, as well as all of the physical collections represented in your library catalog – into one set of search results.  Summon provides your patrons a Google-like search of all your library’s collections.
