Ex Libris, a ProQuest company, has announced that the University of Valencia, the University of Alicante, Jaume I University, and the Miguel Hernández University of Elche, all public universities in Valencia, Spain, have together selected the Ex Libris Alma® library services platform and Ex Libris Primo® discovery and delivery solution. A consortium of public university libraries will be created, enabling the member institutions to have a shared catalog and to collaborate in areas such as acquisitions and staff training.
The four universities sought a solution that would facilitate system integration, unify the management of resources, improve content management, and make information more accessible. The Alma library platform and Primo discovery and delivery solution will provide services that are specifically designed to handle shared electronic and print resources and offer robust capabilities for streamlining workflows and effectively managing the universities’ collections. By unifying queries and integrating with other technologies used by the libraries, the Alma platform will help the libraries fulfill their strategy of improving services.
The library directors of all four universities agree that the Ex Libris expertise in the management and dissemination of library content and the exciting possibilities of the products’ roadmaps were paramount to the universities’ decision.
