Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group has announced that the WIN Library Network (WIN) - a consortium of eleven universities, colleges and community colleges - has selected the Ex Libris Alma library management solution. Alma will enable the consortium to provide unified resource management for all members, and will operate in tandem with the Ex Libris Primo discovery and delivery solution, recently implemented by WIN.
Having used Voyager for many years, and having recently implemented Primo, the consortium sought a next-generation solution that would deliver unified services across all collections while also delivering streamlined and more efficient workflows. As a large consortium, the ability to define the level and nature of collaboration between members was also important to WIN.
Ex Libris provides efficient, user-friendly products that serve the needs of libraries today and will facilitate their transition into the future. Dedicated to developing creative solutions in close collaboration with customers, Ex Libris enables libraries to maximise productivity and efficiency and, at the same time, greatly enhance the user experience. By empowering users to discover and obtain the information they need, libraries ensure their position as the bridge to knowledge.
