Ex Libris, a ProQuest company, has announced that Brandeis University has gone live with the Ex Libris Rapido™ resource sharing platform. A member of the Boston Library Consortium and a participant in the Rapido early adopter program, Brandeis decided to move from its old broker-based system to the Rapido platform to take resource sharing to the next level. With the new system, Brandeis can fulfill requests more quickly and lower costs significantly.
Brandeis Associate University Librarian for Scholarly Resources and Discovery Mark Paris noted that implementing Rapido resource sharing at Brandeis will provide a better experience for users and save staff time.
The streamlining of the Rapido library workflows means that staff and patrons no longer have to switch to another system for resource sharing. Brandeis already uses the Ex Libris Alma® library services platform, Primo® discovery tool, and RapidILL™ interlibrary loan system, all of which are now integrated with the Rapido solution.
