Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that Thomas Jefferson University has chosen the Ex Libris Alma® and Primo® solutions for the libraries serving the university's colleges and health centers. Alma will be instrumental in managing Thomas Jefferson's collection of electronic, print, and non-traditional physical materials, while Primo will make these collections accessible from a single search interface.
Thomas Jefferson sought a centralised, cloud-based solution that would enable the university to manage all resources in one system, thus eliminating silos of library systems that did not communicate well with each other. Thomas Jefferson also needed a scalable management system that would enable the growth of the university’s collections and scholarly output in the future.
According to Eric Hines, president of Ex Libris North America, by unifying library processes at centers of medical learning, Alma and Primo contribute significantly to the flow of medical knowledge between the various stakeholders.
