Ex Libris, Part of Clarivate

The unique Nashville institution transitioned to Alma for unified resource management, automation and cloud-based services, which improved student, faculty and staff experience.
“Ex Libris solutions helped us broaden the use of technology within the library and provide innovative learning experiences for our students.” Dr. Brandon A. Owens, Sr., Dean of the Library

The University Library is an essential partner in teaching and learning, research, and community engagement at CSUSM. Using statistical gathering, various means of assessment, and in-depth studies, the University Library gains insight into its patrons’ needs and evaluates its success in supporting those needs.

Alma has made it possible for Leeds University Library to adapt their services and workflows so that they can operate effectively in an environment that has become increasingly online. It has given staff opportunities to explore new and more effective ways of working.

Alma has provided a different vision of the future of health libraries, allowing the Queensland Health Libraries Network to explore services and functions beyond what they’d previously considered or been able to afford. The unified Alma approach to all library resources opened up the opportunity to add digital objects and create collections not previously considered part of a health library’s role.

Ex Libris' goal is to enable libraries to incorporate CDL into their workflows if they choose to do so. CDL allows libraries to cater to patrons with differing needs and gives them the option to borrow books in a way which suits them.
