Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group has announced that the Chambers Library of the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) has selected the Ex Libris Alma resource management solution. At the same time, UCO will migrate its Primo discovery solution to the Ex Libris cloud environment. Alma, which is seamlessly integrated with Primo, provides a unified platform for managing library operations across all collections and formats.
UCO sought a next-generation solution to replace the library's Ex Libris Voyager integrated library system, Ex Libris SFX link resolver, and other services. Alma emerged as the most appealing solution, with its automated workflows, advanced analytics functionality, and potential for new types of collaboration - an important consideration for a school that maintains strong links with other universities in Oklahoma.
Alma analytics will provide UCO with meaningful insights into usage and collection trends, thus facilitating an evidence-based decision‑making process. As a cloud solution, Alma will reduce the technical burden of library staff while enabling staff to deliver a range of traditional and new services to students and faculty.
