Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that Australia's Charles Darwin University (CDU) has opted for a library services platform consisting of the Ex Libris Alma® library management service and the Ex Libris Primo® discovery and delivery platform. These two solutions will be replacing Intota™ and SirsiDynix Symphony® systems.
A number of factors were key to the university's decision to move to Alma and Primo. In Alma and Primo, CDU found a superior user experience and an interface that would be mobile-friendly, accommodating any device, used in any place and at any time. In addition, with the Alma and Primo cloud platform and agile development, updates would be immediate and trouble-free. Finally, the CDU team was impressed by the strong analytics and unified workflows that Alma and Primo provide, as well as the robust and comprehensive APIs that are available.
Charles Darwin University (CDU), based in Australia's Northern Territory, is a young institution that has achieved world rankings for the impact of its research. Times Higher Education ranks CDU in the top 2% of universities in the world and in the top 50 universities under 50 years old. The university has 11 campuses and centers located throughout the Northern Territory and in Sydney and Melbourne. More than 24,000 students study on CDU's campuses and online in a variety of disciplines, including engineering and information technology, the environment, health, psychological and clinical sciences, business, creative arts and humanities, education, and law.
