Library solutions provider Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced the acquisition of the Fujitsu Services A/S library division - the exclusive distributor of Ex Libris products in Denmark and Sweden - and the assumption of all interaction with the Company’s approximately 200 customer institutions in these countries. The newly opened Ex Libris Scandinavia office is part of the continually expanding Ex Libris worldwide organisation.
The Fujitsu Services A/S library division, the exclusive distributor of Ex Libris products in Scandinavia since 1992, has been instrumental in increasing and maintaining the Ex Libris customer communities in Denmark, Sweden and the Faroe Islands. Following the first sale of the Ex Libris Aleph integrated library system in Scandinavia to the Technical Information Center of Denmark - Danmarks Tekniske Informationscenter - the Scandinavian customer base expanded to include such leading academic and research institutions as the National Libraries of Denmark, Sweden, and the Faroe Islands, the Royal Library of Denmark (National Library and Copenhagen University); the Royal Library of Sweden; and Denmark’s State and University Library at Aarhus.
Among the Ex Libris customers in Denmark and Sweden are also large, nationwide library networks. This includes the Danish central government’s DAB central library and documentation center for civil servants and the Swedish LIBRIS union catalogue and national search and linking service, which provides access to nationally licensed databases and journal content.
