Ex Libris® Group, a global provider of cloud‑based solutions for higher education, has announced that the Ex Libris Alma® library management service is live in operation at Dresden University of Applied Sciences (HTW Dresden). HTW Dresden joins hundreds of institutions worldwide that are using Alma to deliver cloud-based, unified library services.
Alma was selected by the library to improve management of all types of resources under a unified, user-friendly interface and to make them immediately searchable via the new Primo® discovery and delivery solution. The HTW Dresden is the second university library in Germany to go live with Alma, following HTWK Leipzig.
Dresden University of Applied Sciences was founded in 1992 and consists of eight faculties, with approximately 170 professors and more than 5,000 students. Engineering, economics, design, and "green" disciplines constitute the four pillars on which more than 40 forward-looking diploma, bachelors, and masters degree programs are based. The library is one of the University's central institutions. It is not only a scientific library for studying, teaching, and research but is also available to the people of Saxony for their general and professional education. User-friendliness is the main focus of the library.
