Ex Libris, a ProQuest company, has announced that the DALNET consortium in Michigan has selected the Ex Libris® Alma® resource management solution and the Primo® discovery and delivery solution.
The DALNET consortium and its member libraries chose Ex Libris Alma and Primo to fully incorporate discovery, access, and management for all library materials in print and electronic formats. Primo and Alma will meet the needs of a complex consortium, while also enabling member libraries to create separate profiles and configurations within the system. With its diverse member libraries, comprising research centers, special libraries, and colleges, users of DALNET resources include students, researchers, curators, physicians, medical personnel, and administrators. Primo will enable the wide community of users to discover all of the consortium's rich resources.
Of the commercial systems evaluated, Alma and Primo best met the consortium's primary requirements: a cloud-based unified platform that manages library services for all formats and resource types; a separate search interface for each participating library enabling discovery of print, media, electronic and digital materials; a robust yet easy-to-use system including consolidated, refined, and less repetitive workflows; and flexibility for each participating institution to comply with local policies and the needs of their parent institutions.
