Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced that two more universities have joined the Australia and New Zealand early-adopter programme for the Alma library management service. The latest members are RMIT University, in Australia, and the University of Otago, in New Zealand.
These early adopters join over 60 institutions, on three continents, that have committed to adopting Alma through various collaborative and early-adopter programmes. Among those institutions are the members of the Australian Collaborative Partnership Program for Alma: Monash University; Swinburne University of Technology; the University of Western Sydney; the South Australian Consortium for Information Technology and Telecommunications, which consists of Flinders University, the University of Adelaide, and the University of South Australia; UNILINC, a consortium of academic libraries that includes Australian Catholic University, Charles Sturt University, and Southern Cross University.
By consolidating the disparate systems used by today's libraries to manage electronic, print, and digital resources, the Ex Libris Alma solution accelerates libraries' move toward next-generation services. Alma's cloud infrastructure helps libraries increase their efficiency through data sharing and collaboration. As a result, libraries can focus their resources on extending services within and outside their institution, while supporting the institution's teaching and research missions.
