The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames becomes the 14th member of the London Libraries Consortium, giving borough residents access to over 6 million items from 150 library branches across London. Library staff will benefit too as the consortium will provide frontline employees with the opportunity to work on development projects with peers across London.
Kingston is also keen to modernise its technology and will be making use of the consortium’s EDI technology to facilitate electronic ordering, payment of invoices and direct delivery of new stock to branches. Kingston Council is undergoing radical change through its One Council programme. The hosted service which Axiell Ltd offers for the shared Open Galaxy library management system fits into this programme and the consortium’s joint procurement through a Framework Agreement is consistent with Kingston’s new ICT strategy -- putting the Library Service at the centre of new ways of working and delivering services across the Council.
