Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that BIBSYS-the agency of the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research that provides library services to universities and colleges, research institutions, and the National Library-has chosen the Ex Libris LegantoSM reading list solution after an exhaustive tendering process.
The first nine institutions that will use the solution under the national framework are Agder University, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences and Molde University College; Nord University, Norwegian University of Life Sciences and, Oslo and Akershus University College; University College of Southeast Norway, Vestlandet University College and Østfold University College.
When evaluating reading list systems, BIBSYS's objective was to select a modern solution that has a clear focus on both current and future requirements of students, teaching staff and librarians. The agency sought a reading list system that would produce clean, simple, and uniformly structured reading lists that can be easily accessed and managed and would support the BIBSYS consortial environment. Such a system would help BIBSYS fulfill its vision of contributing to an effective teaching and learning environment in institutions across the country.
