Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that its Alma library management service now enables librarians to access Alma from anywhere, using a mobile device.
It is expected that the Alma Mobile will significantly improve libraries’ operational efficiency. Librarians can now access task lists and perform fulfillment activities on the go, even scanning item barcodes to register in-house use from anywhere in the library. Built on a flexible advanced mobile‑application framework, Alma Mobile will grow to include more features, such as work-order processing, item returns, the creation and processing of sets, inventory management, and even mobile analytics.
The new mobile capabilities are being rolled out gradually, with the first version now available for early-access users. A general release for all Alma users is planned for the third quarter of 2016.
