Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced the general release of version 7.1 of the Voyager integrated library system (ILS). The new features introduced in version 7.1 extend WebVoyáge capabilities and tighten the integration of Voyager with other Ex Libris solutions - the Primo discovery and delivery solution and the Rosetta digital preservation system - as well as with third-party systems and services.
Course-reserve information managed in Voyager can now be offered to patrons through Primo. Patrons can use course-related terms such as course name, instructor, and department to search for materials. Furthermore, Primo generates course-related facets that help patrons hone in on the course materials that they require. New consortial support features enable institutions to offer Primo as the default discovery interface for all Voyager consortium members. Primo displays real-time availability information for search results obtained from all the libraries in a consortium. Through the integration of Primo with the Voyager Universal Borrowing feature, patrons of one member library can request items from another member library.
Additionally, the set of Web services that was introduced previously has been enlarged to increase the openness of Voyager, facilitating its interoperability with other systems and enabling customers to develop code extensions that they can share with the Voyager community. All Web services are available in the Developer Zone of the EL Commons collaborative Web site. System-generated links between Voyager and the Ex Libris Rosetta digital preservation system facilitate the discovery, through WebVoyáge, of digital objects stored in Rosetta.
