Library automation services Ex Libris Group has announced that the State Library of Queensland (SLQ) is now live with Ex Libris Alma. An institution with a history of leadership in library technology, SLQ was the first Australian library to implement the Ex Libris Primo discovery and delivery solution.
As a legal deposit library, SLQ's requirements differ from those of most academic libraries. The Library has a diverse mandate that includes collecting Queensland's documentary published and unpublished material and to connect Queenslanders to resources that meet their information needs. Alma's automated workflows and unique approach to managing legal deposit works have enabled the Library to improve efficiency and strengthen cooperation among staff members. As a result, they will be able to provide easier access to SLQ's extensive local and online resources.
Ex Libris provides efficient, user-friendly products that serve the needs of libraries today and will facilitate their transition into the future. Dedicated to developing creative solutions in close collaboration with customers, Ex Libris enables libraries to maximise productivity and efficiency and, at the same time, greatly enhance the user experience. By empowering users to discover and obtain the information they need, libraries ensure their position as the bridge to knowledge.
