Description
The Universityâs Library Management System is an essential technology framework which the library depends upon to support daily operations and deliver content and services to staff, students and other library users.
The existing core system is based on Capitaâs (formerly Talis) Alto service, alongside a combination of Capitaâs Prism and EBSCOâs Discovery Service for catalogue access and search. We do not currently have an electronic resource management (ERM) product. The Capita/Talis system has been in place for over 10 years, with a number of customised integrations and enhancements, for example to work seamlessly with the library's 3M machines for automated issue and return, which have been implemented over time to meet the Universityâs needs.
The University is seeking to adopt a Unified Library Management System to exploit new technologies being offered; to maximise potential efficiencies in work-flows and processes; to ensure rapid, seamless delivery and value for money; to enhance the student's learning experience; and free up resources to meet new University information needs.
The Library environment has significantly changed over the past decade as the needs and expectations of its increasingly digital-native student population evolve. Although we do not expect print and hard-copy collections to disappear, there is no doubt the balance of electronic vs print will continue to shift toward the digital.
The University is therefore seeking to acquire a system which will continue to support this shift, effectively manage its e-resources including metadata and licenses and support a high quality service provision to staff, students and other library users. In doing so the key aim is to create more efficient processes and work-flows, and by making these efficiencies ensure services are delivered in a seamless, timely and effective manner and further improve ease of use and accessibility to information.
