Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group has announced that Kansas State University (K-State) has selected the Ex Libris Alma library management solution.
Replacing multiple systems including Ex Libris Voyager, Alma will streamline operations at K-State Libraries by providing a cloud-based, open, and unified platform for all collections, that integrates smoothly with both external campus systems and the Libraries' Ex Libris Primo discovery solution. Interoperability was a key driver in the Libraries’ selection of Alma.
The university was founded in 1863 as the nation's first operational land-grant university. Kansas State University has campuses in Manhattan, Salina and Olathe, and Research and Extension has a presence throughout Kansas. Nearly 25,000 students from all 50 states and more than 100 countries attend the university, choosing from more than 250 majors and options in nine colleges: agriculture; architecture, planning and design; arts and sciences; business administration; education; engineering; human ecology; technology and aviation; and veterinary medicine.
