U Of Utah, College Of Eastern Utah Choose Aleph, Primo

摘要

The University of Utah, together with the College of Eastern Utah, has selected the Aleph integrated library system and the Primo discovery and delivery solution, both offered by Ex Libris (1350 E. Touhy Avenue, Suite 200 East, Des Plaines, IL 60018, 800/762-6300), to replace their SirsiDynix Horizon systems. The University will use Primo as the primary form of access for its collections-print, electronic, or digital; Aleph is licensed for 90 staff users. Aleph and Primo are expected to be fully operational by January 2010. As a member of the Association of Research Libraries, one of the University's most important criteria in the selection process was the ability to accommodate and make available a complex range of content from existing and future repositories, a requirement that Aleph and Primo were able to meet. "We are excited to be offering this advanced discovery system to our users," commented Joyce Ogburn, university librarian. "Primo integrates perfectly with Aleph and can easily be dovetailed into our existing SFX link resolver, providing us with a unified search interface for our print, electronic, and digital collections. Primo will lay the foundations for future collaboration with other academic libraries in the region."
