Ex Libris, a ProQuest company, has announced that the University of Nevada, Reno, has selected the Ex Libris Alma® library services platform and Ex Libris Primo® discovery and delivery solution to replace dated legacy systems.
The new platform will support the institution’s vision of embracing intellectual inquiry and innovation, nurturing the creation of new knowledge, and fostering excellence in teaching, learning, and research. The overhaul is driven by a need to reduce the number of systems supported by the libraries, through the automation of workflows and streamlining of processes and integrations.
Each year, the three branches of the University Libraries welcome more than 1.2 million visitors, who check out more than 90,000 items and run more than 2 million searches. The Ex Libris higher-ed cloud platform will support the university’s complex environment, enabling the libraries to streamline their operations, manage metadata more effectively, unify administrative functions for discovery and management, improve end-user services, and use insights delivered by Alma analytics for data-based decision-making. In addition, redundant third-party systems currently used to track materials, compile statistics, and route items from one department to another will be eliminated.
