Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group has entered into a collaborative agreement with Jisc to help academic libraries manage their e‑resources. The collaboration will improve library efficiency by continually updating data from Jisc's Knowledge Base+ (KB+) to the KnowledgeBase of the Ex Libris SFX OpenURL link resolver and Alma library management solution.
Jisc, an organization providing digital services for UK education and research institutions, recently launched KB+, a shared community service for academic institutions in the UK. The initiative is designed particularly to assist libraries in managing titles and packages that are centrally negotiated on behalf of several UK consortia: NESLi2, the Scottish Higher Education Digital Library (SHEDL), and the Wales Higher Education Electronic Library (WHEEL).
Ex Libris provides efficient, user-friendly products that serve the needs of libraries today and will facilitate their transition into the future. Dedicated to developing creative solutions in close collaboration with customers, Ex Libris enables libraries to maximise productivity and efficiency and, at the same time, greatly enhance the user experience. By empowering users to discover and obtain the information they need, libraries ensure their position as the bridge to knowledge.
