Ex Libris Group, a provider of automation solutions for academic, national and research libraries, has announced that Search Oxford Libraries Online (SOLO) has gone live at Oxford University. SOLO is a one-stop search and delivery solution powered by Ex Libris' Primo discovery tool. Using the online integrated search service, users can expect to access the library's major information resources, regardless of type, format, or location, and receive enriched results quickly.
By enabling SOLO users to cross-search selective databases via a unified interface, Primo seeks to facilitate the discovery of interdisciplinary resources at the Bodleian, University and College libraries. These resources include OLIS (Oxford Libraries Information System), the university's union catalogue of printed and e-books; ORA (Oxford University Research Archive); OxLIP+ (currently over 800 e-resource databases); and Oxford University e-Journals (with subscriptions to more than 28,000 e-journals).
Search results are presented with a variety of links that help users quickly find what they need. Flexible personalisation services offer users options such as requesting alerts, saving searches, and exporting results to bibliographic management packages. The single-sign-on feature enables users to access subscription resources from any location, on campus or off.
