Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group has announced that the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has selected the Alma library management service and the Primo discovery and delivery solution. Alma and Primo replace a number of systems including Ex Libris Voyager and Proquest AquaBrowser.
The implementation of Alma and Primo will allow CSIRO to consolidate existing systems, thereby reducing the technical and administrative burden on staff members. The move will enable CSIRO to consolidate workflows and knowledge bases across all collections, and enhance the discoverability of cutting-edge research material by simplifying support for all resource types, using new and emerging standards.
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) is Australia's national science agency, and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world. CSIRO researchers deliver solutions for agribusiness, energy and transport, environment and natural resources, health, information technology, telecommunications, manufacturing and mineral resources.
