Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Germany, has announced that the National Academic Library Information System (NALIS) in Bulgaria has chosen a number of Ex Libris solutions to form a unified backbone and gateway to the library’s services. Following a rigorous evaluation process, NALIS selected the Primo discovery and delivery solution, the Aleph integrated library system (ILS), the SFX OpenURL link resolver, the MetaLib gateway and metasearch solution and the DigiTool digital asset management system. Two founding members of the NALIS foundation — the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and Sofia University — have been running Aleph for over 10 years.
NALIS chose Primo for its emphasis on the user experience and streamlined access to information. The solution is expected to give NALIS users the combined benefits of a unified interface, a simple yet powerful search capability, and rapid access to resources, which they have come to expect in the era of Google and Web 2.0 technologies. Integrated with the Aleph, DigiTool, MetaLib and SFX solutions, Primo will ensure that users gain seamless access to the diverse collections of NALIS member organisations.
