Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced that California State University, Sacramento ("Sacramento State"), has selected the Alma unified library management solution. The University Library at Sacramento State will consolidate library operations under Alma, which will replace a number of systems: the Innovative Interfaces Millennium integrated library system, Ex Libris SFX OpenURL link resolver, and Serials Solutions 360 Resource Manager. Alma supports the full range of library operations for the entire spectrum of materials - electronic, print and digital - regardless of their format or location.
By adding Alma to the Primo discovery and delivery solution, which is currently used for searching local and global collections, Sacramento State will offer staff members and researchers a single environment for resource management and discovery, providing seamless access to library resources along with a range of new services.
Sacramento State is the first member of the California State University system to move to Alma - a move that other libraries in the system are taking note of as they formulate their strategy for adopting a next-generation resource management solution.
