Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has passed the mark of 500 live Alma institutions with the implementation of Alma® in the Renouvaud network in Switzerland. The dynamic Renouvaud library network serves the entire canton of Vaud, which includes over 100 libraries. Its strategic and financial management is under the direction of the University Library of Lausanne (Bibliothèque cantonale et universitaire – BCU Lausanne).
Alma continues to be the library platform of choice for academic, state, and national libraries and consortia. The robust, scalable Alma infrastructure is in daily use by more than 20,000 library staff members around the world, managing over 470 million bibliographic records.
The Alma service's success has grown with the ongoing enrichment of functionality through monthly releases and through constant collaboration between Ex Libris and the active Alma customer community. This collaborative spirit and the openness of the Alma platform are evident in the more than one million API transactions made to Alma on a daily basis and in over 400 suggestions from Alma users that have been posted to the Alma Idea Exchange since its inception in September 2015, many already added to the Alma roadmap or implemented.
