 "As part of delivering on the vision of a UK national digital library, Jisc and OCLC announce a partnership As part of delivering on the vision of a UK national digital library, Jisc and OCLC announce a partnership to build a new shared service that will aggregate academic bibliographic data at scale, improving library collection management and resource discovery for students and researchers.Jisc, the digital solutions provider for UK education and research, today announced that OCLC, the global library cooperative, has been awarded the contract to develop a new National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK).  <br/>
 The NBK, originally proposed in Jisc’s <a href="https://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/projects/national-monograph-strategy" class="urlextern" title="https://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/projects/national-monograph-strategy" rel="nofollow">National Monograph Strategy</a>, will support the learning and research needs of the UK higher education community. The vision is to extend the capabilities of the current Copac service, by investing in technology that can ingest diverse library data at higher speed and greater volume. The new service will enable a shift in the way that libraries manage their print and digital collections and in the ways that people access those resources.

"The University of East Anglia requires a Library services platform (LSP) for the Library with integrated management of all functions specified (discovery, electronic resource management, acquisitions, metadata management, circulation, inventory, management information, user management, financial management) and full data flows ensuring data is only ever entered once in support of all functions.The platform will replace the current main suite of management and discovery software: the Aleph Library Management System, SFX Link Resolver and potentially the EBSCO Discovery Service.The Library management system and discovery web interface will need to be installed and commissioned during a period when fewer students are on campus. The Library Team has identified the summer break of 2019 (15th June to 22.9.2019) as the most suitable time. The system will need to be fully operational by 31.8.2019.

"The University of Sunderland seeks to extend current library management functionality with the delivery of a Library Management solution. Existing core library services are based around a Library Management System which includes Alto circulation services, Prism library catalogue and a number of customised and integrated modules and enhancements. Current services fully integrate with third party services include:- • EBSCO’s Discovery ERM product; • PTFS Europe’s Rebus:list product; • 3M self services; • Lorensberg’s Direct Mapping product; • CALM software • E Prints software. In tendering for a new system the library is aiming to maintain a high degree of current functionality, introduce new and innovative technologies, maximise efficiencies in work-flows, continue to work collaboratively within the wider library community including access to an integral bibliographic database, whilst ensuring rapid and seamless procurement of resources through a managed Electronic Data Interchange, enhancing the student’s learning experience with access to powerful single searching of library data and wider institutional resources, ensuring value for money."

Upgraded from ExLibris Aleph to ExLibris Alma July 2028

</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.

From the <a href="https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC176617" class="urlextern" title="https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC176617" rel="nofollow">invitation to tender</a> 21st December 2016<br/>

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.

Provision and implementation of a Library Management System<br/>

"Arts University Bournemouth is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced supplier for the provision and implementation of a Library Management System (LMS).<br/>

As part of this tender the University is also considering the replacement of its Resource Discovery System (this is deemed to be an option).<br/>

The University is willing to consider an LMS which is purely on premise, purely cloud hosted or a hybrid of the 2. In tendering this opportunity the University is looking for a solution: which enhances current capabilities in terms of library core functions and work flows; improves functionality for students, provides seamless integration with a variety of resources and systems and provides improved management reporting.<br/>

We anticipate the delivery of the project to commence in May 2018 with implementation expected to occur in January 2019 following an agreed period of testing which will cover all of the required functions of the solution and the interfaces to the designated AUB systems.<br/>

The contract shall be for an initial period of 5 years with an option to extend subject to performance and if both parties are in agreement for a further period of 2 years."

"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."

"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.”
