Amigos vendor partner Research Solutions recognizes that the news of CCC discontinuing its Get It Now service by June 30 needs to be addressed directly. For institutions that have relied on it for instant, 24/7 access to articles, the question of what comes next is a practical one, not a theoretical one.
Research Solutions started as Desk, built specifically around document fulfillment at a time when most of the industry was focused elsewhere. That meant that their infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and workflows weren't retrofitted onto a discovery platform. They were purpose-built, rights-respecting, expertly managed, and designed to operate at the speed researchers expect. Today, Research Solutions is known for Article Galaxy Scholar, the academic platform that integrates with the library systems already in use, including Ex Libris Rapido, Primo, EBSCO Discovery Service, ILLiad, and Alma. It also connects with Scite for AI-assisted research intelligence and supports advanced workflow tools that fit into how your team already operates.
For libraries evaluating alternatives to Get It Now, Article Galaxy Scholar supports unmediated delivery of full-text articles on demand, 24/7, with no subscription required for content accessed and full copyright compliance built in. Amigos members can find a practical guide here to help you with next steps as you transition from Get It Now. For more information on Amigos member discounts, reach out to mds@amigos.org.
