TIND and EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) have announced that the University of Southern Indiana (USI) has selected the TIND Integrated Library System (TIND ILS), migrating from Ex Libris’ Voyager system and will also transition its Primo discovery layer to EBSCO Discovery Service™ (EDS). The university will be able to use EDS with TIND ILS for real-time holdings information and integrate with GOBI and Harrassowitz, leveraging the TIND ILS real-time acquisition APIs.
TIND’s modern, innovative design will integrate with other systems, both within the library and on campus. By providing libraries with APIs and supporting interoperability, EBSCO helps libraries better integrate the systems they select. The ILS is completely changing to accommodate modern needs and technologies. Above all, libraries must have the control to have bi-directional interoperability across the ILS and any related tools/systems as they see appropriate. TIND allows for this open interoperability, which provides choice, and does not lock a given library into larger bundled costs.
