Wayne State University has successfully implemented Alma, a leading electronic resource management (ERM) solution, to modernize its management of electronic resources. Ex Libris™, part of Clarivate™, announced that the university has launched and is now using Alma to optimize its library operations and improve user satisfaction.
The decision to adopt Alma aligns with Wayne State University Libraries’ mission to utilize the latest information technologies to provide cutting-edge access to instructional and research materials. Alma’s advanced ERM capabilities streamline workflows, enhance resource availability, and improve user access, allowing library staff to focus more on serving the needs of their users.
With the implementation of Alma, Wayne State University Libraries will benefit from superior analytics and reporting, offering deeper insights into resource usage and helping to inform strategic decisions. The adoption of this solution is expected to significantly enhance the library’s ability to support the education, research, and service missions of the university.
Wayne State University Libraries are known for their comprehensive, high-quality resources, services, and programs, supporting both the university community and the broader metropolitan Detroit area. The libraries house over three million volumes, more than 56,000 journal titles, and a wide range of electronic resources, including electronic journals and over 800,000 e-books.
This modernization effort underscores the university's commitment to providing state-of-the-art resources and services to its students, faculty, and the wider community.
