Ex Libris®, a ProQuest® company, has announced that following an EU-wide tender, the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg's Library and Information System (BIS) and the Oldenburg Regional Library (Landesbibliothek Oldenburg) have signed agreements to license the Ex Libris Alma® resource management service. This service will replace the libraries' URICA integrated library system (ILS). The decision was announced during the 6th Library Congress 2016 in Leipzig.
In particular, the growing demand for electronic and digital resources created a need to develop new workflows, and the two libraries recognised that adding Alma to their Ex Libris Primo® discovery solution would give them a modern architecture, flexible workflows, and APIs for connecting other systems.
The two institutions will also benefit from enhanced sharing capabilities and connection to the bibliographic data in the emerging German Common Bibliographic Data Zone.
