Ex Libris has announced that the Swiss Library Service Platform (SLSP) has opted to base Switzerland’s new national library service for academic universities on the Ex Libris Alma library services platform, with the Ex Libris Primo solution providing discovery and delivery services to users. The decision will see over 600 libraries across 130 institutions move to the Alma platform and to the Primo solution.
SLSP was formed by the merger of the six library networks that serve the Swiss academic community in the German, French, and Italian language regions. With the new library service centre, the current cooperation within each language region will be raised to the national level, and the duplication of work and library resources across the country will be reduced.
