Ex Libris, a ProQuest company, has announced that the first four implementations of the Rapido™ resource sharing platform have now gone live.
The development of the Rapido platform began in late 2019, when Ex Libris teamed up with a group of early adopters and development partners in the United States, Europe, and Australia. This collaboration afforded Ex Libris an opportunity to hear customers’ voices and create a solution tailored to the needs of resource-sharing institutions.
The aim of the Rapido platform is to make resource sharing an outstanding experience for library patrons and staff. To this end, the development has adhered to the principles articulated by the Big Ten Academic Alliance and other institutions.
Ex Libris Rapido workflows automate the borrowing and lending processes, simplifying the staff’s management of a high volume of requests. For library users, the Rapido platform provides a central location where they can find the materials they need and obtain those materials quickly through a frictionless experience.
