Library automation and preservation solutions provider Ex Libris® Group has announced that Williams College Libraries has selected Ex Libris Alma® for resource management and Ex Libris Primo® for resource discovery and delivery. The Libraries will be replacing its Innovative Interfaces Millennium integrated library system and adopting its first discovery solution.
A member of the Boston Library Consortium, Williams College joins fellow members Boston University, Boston College, University of Connecticut, and others by adopting the Alma and Primo solutions. Alma will enable the Library to manage and deliver a single, cloud-based platform for all its information resources, regardless of format or location. Users will use Primo to readily discover and seamlessly access resources without searching separate systems for different collections or types of information.
According to Eric Hines, president of Ex Libris North America, Williams' selection of Primo as their first discovery solution will ensure that patrons can more easily access these valuable collections, while Alma will offer actionable intelligence allowing the library to create demand-driven collection development, further optimising the resources available to patrons.
