Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that the Consortium of Academic and Special Libraries of Saskatchewan (CASLS) has selected the Ex Libris Alma® resource management service and Primo® discovery and delivery solution to create a unified resource management and discovery environment that offers comprehensive and convenient access to library materials. Alma and Primo will replace Voyager and SirsiDynix Symphony.
Aligning with the CASLS values of cooperation, diversity, and flexibility, Alma and Primo will provide the benefits of consortial collaboration while enabling members to create separate policies and configurations within their respective institutional environments. The system will unify the management of all the resources that each library in the consortium owns and will make them available to end users for discovery and delivery.
According to Carol MacDonald, the head of systems development and implementation at the University of Regina, the Ex Libris Alma‑Primo combination will serve the CASLS libraries well into the future, with the integration of the system’s workflows in a single interface and plans for new integrations and cooperative initiatives that will now be enabled for CASLS members.
