Provision of Library Services Platform (LSP) Solution for De Montfort University<br/>

From the <a href="https://bidstats.uk/tenders/2021/W26/753860978" class="urlextern" title="https://bidstats.uk/tenders/2021/W26/753860978" rel="nofollow">notice</a>:<br/>

"DMU Library Services desires a brand-new (which may include open source), modern replacement Library Services Platform (LSP) Solution to support the future development of the service. It is envisaged any LSP shall be cloud based; and will need to adopt a microservices architecture to allow for choice of applications and strong community participation for developmental purposes.
</p>

<p>
Foremost we are interested in a Solution that will have many years of growth with a modern infrastructure that will support library developments.The library requires a hosting and support infrastructure and the software developed in collaboration with the library community and / or service providers who work in parallel and focus on their specialist expertise.
</p>

<p>
The library is generally seeking greater levels of control over the systems and services that it will use both now, and in the future, and as such the Solution should therefore be interoperable and include APIs to support external services, systems and functions.Foremost in our considerations are: the need to provide our staff and students with the flexibility to have a personal learning experience with resources; to integrate this experience with existing learning platforms; and how data and analytics can provide insight and how emerging technology such as AI can support our work.DMU is now seeking to enter into a period of market engagement with suppliers who could provide a future LSP Solution to the University.
</p>

<p>
The ME process is anticipated to include the undertaking of presentations / demonstrations on a one to one basis during August 2021, by those suppliers interested in offering this service provision in the future to DMU (precise dates to be confirmed).
</p>

<p>
DMU is currently reviewing all its’ future options by way of arriving at a final agreed business case and ultimate decision on an agreed long term established way forward for this area of future service provision to the University.
</p>

<p>
This forms part of a wider current review of DMU’s Teaching and Learning Applications."

</p>

<p>
The University intends to award a contract for up to three years for the upgrade and maintenance of its current library management system (LMS) to Ex Libris, a specialist in software for the library sector. This will upgrade from Ex Libris's Aleph, SFX, MetaLib and Verde products to their Alma product, thus reducing the need for multiple products. This system is owned, supplied and supported exclusively by Ex Libris. The current library management system, Aleph, is already integrated with Campus Solutions at UNNC and UNMC and a different system (with different technical architecture) would mean considerable additional development effort. Ex Libris are the only supplier who have an existing data centre in China and a proven support model for global campus operation. The implementation plan for the global solution shall commence in August 2018.
</p>

<p>
The existing version of the system is several years old, meaning that the upgrade process will be overly complex and beyond the capability of the institution. As Ex Libris is the developer of the software, it is envisaged that this upgrade will be executed with minimal risk of technical failure and data and process migration for internal staff will be significantly reduced in a global environment. As alternate system would present significant financial, technical, quality and reputational risks for the University that could not be mitigated against.
</p>

<p>
The Global reach is essential and the feasibility or ability to change is restricted by Suppliers who can promote the Global need and therefore when considering the relative benefit, the cost would outweigh the advantage that might accrue. Thus for reasons of timescale and staff capacity alongside core business activity, the only viable option is an upgrade through Ex Libris.

The University of Nottingham proposes to invest in a new scholarly information environment to improve the student and researcher library experience and to create more efficient resource management processes.It will deliver an improved return on the University's £5.5 annual investment in information resources and will contribute to the content and discovery element of an ambitious vision for Digital Learning.<br/>

This will:<br/>

- improve student satisfaction,<br/>

- Improve learning outcomes and academic success,<br/>

- better support researchers,<br/>

- facilitate a more agile and flexible response to academic needs,<br/>

- maximise return on current investment in library materials and staff resource.<br/>

<br/>

The goals will be achieved by a new, more integrated, approach to the discovery and delivery of library curated materials which will better match resources to student and researcher needs. This will be a part of a wider modern integrated solution that will also bring efficiencies and significantly reduce the number of systems currently employed. This in turn will help to create better, more efficient staff workflows across the totality of print and electronic resources.<br/>

It will also deliver better analytics to enable the library to more closely align library resources with course and researcher demands. Furthermore it will integrate more fully with university systems such as the VLE and finance.<br/>

Such a solution will offer a stable, scalable, secure, supported and cost-effective learning environment across our 3 global campuses.

"University of the Chester intends to upgrade its existing library system which is supplied and maintained by Innovative Interfaces Global. This contract has an estimated total cost of circa 340 000 GBP over 5 years.<br/>

Explanation:<br/>

The University wishes to upgrade its library management system from its current iteration and hosting platform (“Millennium”, hosted on premise) to the latest release (“Sierra”, hosted in Innovative’s private cloud facility). Innovative own the intellectual property rights of the software.<br/>

The existing version of the system is several years old and the upgrade process will be complicated by the need to jump several versions. As Innovative is the developer of the software, it is envisaged that this upgrade will be executed with minimal risk of technical failure.<br/>

The existing system is tightly integrated with University business processes, other University systems and existing library hardware. The University has determined that transitioning to an alternative system at this time with different technical and operational characteristics would significantly impact on resources and processes and cause major disruption to all users. The significant risks of doing so would be financial, technical (including information security) and reputational.<br/>

The University therefore intends to issue the contract to Innovative for the reasons stated above."

"The University wishes to transition its Library Management Solution (LMS) from the Ex Libris Aleph solution to an Ex Libris Alma SaaS platform. This product is tightly integrated with existing University business processes and systems. The University has determined that transitioning to an alternative LMS at this time with different technical and operational characteristics may significantly impact on resources and process changes and cause disproportionate disruption to its students and staff. The risks are financial, technical (including information security) and reputational. The University therefore intends to issue a contract to Ex Libris for the move to the Alma SaaS platform for the reasons stated above."

"Qualitative feedback from library users indicated that the time was right to fundamentally review the workflows in the library and to improve the student experience,” said RGU Library Director Margaret Buchan. “Our ability to effectively manage the life cycle of electronic resources is currently hampered by the lack of flexible library analytics and an electronic resource management function. In addition, IT and library staff time is often spent carrying out hosting tasks and backing up, maintaining, and upgrading the library system, servers, and client applications. The cloud-based SaaS solutions delivered by Ex Libris will free staff to focus on strengthening the library's impact on teaching and learning.”
