Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced that version 21 of the Aleph integrated library system has been released to the Aleph community of over 2,300 sites.
Among the release’s 74 customer-driven enhancements are numerous features that reduce the total cost of ownership, such as improving cash workflows and simplifying renewals of serial encumbrances. Other enhancements will provide an enhanced experience for end-users.
Like all major Ex Libris product versions, Aleph 21 underwent intensive testing by customers as well as the Ex Libris team. Library staff from three continents convened at the Ex Libris product-development center to test the new features and enhancements and work directly with developers, to provide librarians and users with the best possible user experience.
For this release, collaborative testers from Hampshire College (US), the University of Iowa (US), the University of Lisbon (Portugal), and the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) joined Ex Libris development and product management staff at Company headquarters.
