Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that the Library of Virginia has selected the Ex Libris Alma® library services platform for library management, the Ex Libris Primo® solution for discovery and delivery, and the Ex Libris Rosetta™ solution for digital asset management and preservation.
For nearly two centuries, the Library of Virginia has served as both the state library and the custodian of the state archives. The library’s vast, diverse collection includes records that begin with the settlement at Jamestown in the 17th century and continue with eight terabytes of data transferred to the library in 2018 from the administration of outgoing Governor Terry McAuliffe. The library also houses timeless collections of manuscripts, maps, architectural drawings and plans, print collections, state and federal documents, state artwork, and photographs.
The state library serves a wide variety of patrons, including social scientists, writers, artists, and historians, both local and remote.
To meet the current challenging requirements, the Library of Virginia is adopting Ex Libris Rosetta for digital asset management and preservation, leveraging the leading preservation-industry standards and open APIs to provide continuity for generations to come. With the Ex Libris Alma library services platform and Primo discovery and delivery solution, the library will streamline its workflows and facilitate patrons’ discovery of the library’s collections.
