Following the huge success of our Alma Roadshow last year, we have decided to celebrate Alma going live by taking to the road again. This year, we are bringing Roger Brisson (http://www.bu.edu/library/profile/brisson-roger/ ), Head of Metadata and Cataloging at Boston University Libraries (http://tinyurl.com/nyjpyt6 ), along with us. Alma went live at Boston University in November 2012, replacing their Innovative Interfaces Millennium library system: Roger will show you Alma live in action, give you information about their Alma project and be on hand to answer any questions you may have.
Come and join us in Stirling on Friday 30th August! Please register at: http://almaliveinstirling.eventbrite.com/
Selected by over 160 institutions worldwide and live for over a year, Alma represents the future of libraries. Offering unified resource management, Alma streamlines your workflows, thus making your library more efficient. The in-built analytics enable you to make better informed decisions which in turn save you time and money. As a cloud-based solution, you not only save money on hardware but also time which used to be spent on performing updates. Even the implementation is quick and easy, with the majority of the work being performed for you by Ex Libris.
For more information about the content of this event, please see the agenda below. We very much hope you will be able to join us!
We look forward to seeing you in Stirling!
