Library technology solutions provider SirsiDynix US, has announced that Utah State University Library has successfully installed and begun operations using the SirsiDynix Symphony Integrated Library System (ILS) in the Merrill-Cazier Library. The solution is complemented by a host of SirsiDynix tools, including SirsiDynix e-Library and the SirsiDynix Web Reporter business intelligence tool.

The technology upgrade completes the University’s library improvement project, providing the USU community improved, robust access to over 1.5 million volumes in the 305 thousand square foot Merrill-Cazier Library.
