What is a Base Management Environment?
Subscribing to the Base Management Environment (BME) provides a group or library with access to the entire range of reference management tools available as part of the QuestionPoint package, including: email management, web forms, chat software, local knowledge base, access to the global knowledge base, and access to the Global Reference Network (GRN). A library and its Service Unit Profile(s) are associated with a Base Management Environment. Alternatively, a group of libraries could share access to the BME’s cooperative tools including the group’s knowledge base and chat queues.
