Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced that Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, has chosen a full suite of Ex Libris solutions to serve as the backbone of its library services. The university has opted for the Primo discovery and delivery solution and the Aleph integrated library system to replace its existing SirsiDynix Horizon system. It has also selected the suite of Ex Libris solutions for electronic resources: the SFX OpenURL link resolver, the MetaLib gateway and metasearch solution, and the Verde e-resource management system.
Swinburne University requested bids for all of its major library systems at the same time and considered commercial as well as open-source systems. In particular, the library was looking for a single, easy-to-use discovery interface that would enable users to find and access relevant information resources of various types, including their library collections; online content such as articles and e-books; union catalogues and catalogues of other libraries; and web pages.
Primo is claimed to be a one-stop solution for the discovery and delivery of local and remote resources, such as books, journal articles and digital objects. The solution's Deep Search technology, a component of the Ex Libris strategic commitment to provide quality discovery for all research-library resources, enables library data from all sources to be seamlessly integrated.
Aleph provides academic, research, and national libraries with the efficient, user-friendly tools and workflow support they need to meet the increasing requirements of the industry. Customisable components accommodate the requirements of institutions of all types and sizes, from single-branch libraries to the largest of consortia. Installed in scores of countries worldwide, Aleph offers full Unicode support, which enables both public and staff users to interface with the system in their preferred language.
