Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has been selected by the National University to provide next-generation library management and discovery services through the Alma unified resource-management system and the Primo unified discovery and delivery system.
As a one-stop service, Primo enables users to fulfill their information needs by exploring their library’s locally managed collections along with global and regional resources, and to obtain a single result list sorted by the Ex Libris advanced ScholarRank relevance-ranking technology.
National University will consolidate its library systems with Alma, replacing a number of legacy systems, including SirsiDynix Unicorn and the Serials Solutions 360 Link and 360 Resource Manager solutions. Delivered as a cloud service, Alma enables libraries to focus their resources on supporting the institution’s teaching and research missions. Alma unifies workflows across print, electronic, and digital resources and helps libraries increase their efficiency through data sharing and collaboration.
National University is the first academic member of the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC) to select Alma. As a new Primo site, National joins other SCELC institutions in the Primo customer community, including the Claremont Colleges, Santa Clara University, and the Master’s College.
