Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced that several institutions have recently selected the Voyager integrated library solution (ILS). Some of the most recent additions to the Voyager customer community are New York Medical College; Judson College, Alabama; Unitec New Zealand; and the American Embassy in India.
The full-featured Voyager software supports public access cataloging control and authority as well as acquisitions, serials, circulation and course reserves. Sophisticated reporting and system administration are all part of the out-of-the-box product offering. Standards-based, and built on open technology, Voyager interoperates smoothly with existing library systems and new technologies, ensuring that it continues to meet the ever-evolving needs of contemporary libraries. Voyager 7.0, released in June 2008, focuses on ease of use and increased functionality for library staff and users. Among the highlights of this version are the newly designed WebVoyage OPAC with a modern, user-friendly layout and intuitive search interface; a wide range of accessibility and usability enhancements; and more than 40 new administrative features, including greater flexibility for library staff in customizing search and navigation functions to the needs of their institution.
The American Embassy in India, which has four libraries located in Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai, and New Delhi, chose to replace its former ILS with Voyager to achieve a more robust platform for cataloging activities.
