Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that the South Dakota Board of Regents has chosen the Ex Libris Alma® library management service and the Primo® discovery and delivery platform for use across South Dakota's higher education system. The Board of Regents selected these solutions to cover all areas of library management, with a particular focus on handling electronic resources.
The Alma service will enrich member libraries with collaborative capabilities that, in addition to providing a communal platform and resource-sharing, enable each library to retain its institutional preferences and policies. In addition, the cloud-based platform will eliminate the overhead and costs of on-premises system administration. These benefits, combined with institutional workflow efficiencies, will help the South Dakota libraries overcome budget pressures they are facing.
The South Dakota Board of Regents governs an education system made up of six public universities, two K-12 schools serving the deaf and the visually impaired respectively, and three additional public higher education centers. Nearly 34,000 students are enrolled in the system's credit-based courses each year, with about 5,000 graduating annually.
