Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris® Group has announced that the University System of Georgia, with its 31 member institutions, has selected the cloud-based Ex Libris Alma® library management service and Primo® discovery and delivery solution to create a new shared library system.
Using Alma collaborative networks for acquisitions, cataloguing, resource sharing, and analytics, the University System of Georgia will be able to streamline its processes across the entire network and support new consortium-wide initiatives, with the goal of enhancing library and patron services.
The implementation will include the integration of Alma with an offsite storage facility shared by Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology as part of their EmTech project. The integration will enable patrons of both schools to use the shared storage facility through simplified processes provided by the Alma and Primo solutions.
Alma and Primo will provide a closer integration of services for the member institutions, as well as enhance services for member institutions' students, faculty, and staff to meet their needs in today's changing environment.
