Library solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced that the Stanley Ho Library of the Open University of Hong Kong (OUHK) has acquired a suite of Ex Libris products. These include the Aleph integrated library system (ILS), the MetaLib gateway and metasearch portal, the SFX OpenURL link resolver, and the Primo discovery and delivery solution.
Following an intensive evaluation process, OUHK chose the Ex Libris solutions to improve the user experience and maximise the efficiency of Library staff. The Ex Libris Aleph ILS will replace the library's Dynix Classic system, which was used for internal operations and the cataloging of the Library's 126,000 printed and audiovisual items. The Library, which also provides online access to 17,400 electronic serials including full-text e-journals and bibliographic databases and 17,900 e-books, will make all of its resources available to end users via Primo.
