Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that the University of Cambridge has chosen the Ex Libris Alma® resource management service and Primo® discovery and delivery solution to help modernise library management and improve the search experience for students, instructors, and researchers.
The University of Cambridge has been using the Ex Libris Voyager® integrated library system for over 13 years and the ProQuest® AquaBrowser® and Summon® discovery systems for the past six years. With the constant growth of the libraries’ digital content and the increasing complexity of library materials, the University now needs a system to manage the full range of resources and library services across the more than 100 Cambridge libraries. The University also wants to provide a single interface for all content to simplify the search process and better serve library users well into the future.
As a cloud-based library management system, Alma will free library resources that previously went into the management of technology and enable them to refocus on new services. With Alma, library staff will also be able to collaborate easily with colleagues throughout the University.
