Four ARLs Get MetaLib/SFX

Edited by Michael Rogers -- Library Journal, 9/1/2005

Ex Libris has attracted four Association of Research Libraries members—Johns Hopkins, Carnegie-Mellon, North Carolina State, and University of Chicago—to upgrade to the joint MetLib/SFX solution, which will give them a combination of a portal with content-sensitive linking. The company also has inked a deal with the Illinois Library Computer Systems Organization (ILCSO) of 65 libraries, which also will implement SFX. The members (31 universities, 17 colleges, ten community colleges, and seven seminaries of special libraries) can either open SFX on the ILCSO server or install it locally.
