Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that the Michigan Shared System Alliance (MSSA) has chosen the Ex Libris Alma® library services platform and Ex Libris Primo® discovery and delivery solution to enhance collaboration, efficiency, and services for the Alliance's members. The Alma platform will replace the Innovative Sierra integrated library system at five of the member institutions.
The Michigan Shared System Alliance is a newly established consortium founded by seven members of the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS): Albion College, Ferris State University, Hope College, Kalamazoo College, Michigan Technological University, Oakland University, and Western Theological Seminary.
MSSA selected the Alma and Primo solutions as a means of making their workflows more efficient. The Alma and Primo solutions' handling of electronic resources and subscription renewal will bring instant benefits to MSSA and help integrate e resources with acquisitions. In-depth customisation features will increase search and administration options for faculty, students, and library staff.
By coming together as a group, MSSA libraries anticipate that the sharing of experiences and knowledge will contribute to a smooth implementation process and continued communication will help members manage their systems more effectively.
