Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, has announced that the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC), based in the Washington, DC area, has selected the Ex Libris Alma® library management service and Primo® discovery and delivery solution to help fulfill the consortium's priorities of coordinating collections across all partner institutions (including its high-density Shared Collections Facility) and presenting end-users with a unified view of WRLC's shared collection.
WRLC chose Alma and Primo for their scalability, openness to other systems, rich functionality, and cost-effectiveness. The consortium of nine academic libraries will be migrating from Voyager® and Innovative Interfaces Sierra to the new solutions.
The Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) enables the success of learning and scholarship by creating coordinated collections, creating a robust infrastructure for discovery and access, ensuring the long-term preservation of physical and digital information resources, and sharing expertise. WRLC's nine partner universities are American University, the Catholic University of America, Gallaudet University, George Mason University, the George Washington University, Georgetown University, Howard University, Marymount University, and the University of the District of Columbia.
