Librarians can now order print book titles directly from the Alma library services platform, as a result of a new integration between Alma and OASIS, ProQuest's search, selection, and ordering system. Alma users have the option to search the extensive OASIS catalogue, check book prices, and execute an order – all without leaving the Alma interface.
This 'Check Availability and Pricing' API is the latest step in the integration of OASIS and Alma, reflecting ProQuest's ongoing commitment to improve library workflows after the company's acquisition of Ex Libris in 2015.
ProQuest also recently developed a 'Real-Time Acquisition' API, a connection between OASIS and Alma primarily designed for selections and acquisitions librarians who often work in OASIS. This API instantly sends orders to Alma once an order is placed in OASIS.
