Why is our library changing its system?
Answer
All 115 OhioLINK libraries will be upgrading from assorted library systems to the same library services platform (LSP) hosted by ExLibris.
As an OPAL (Ohio Private Academic Libraries) member, our current system Sierra ILS hosted by Innovative Interfaces has been in place for thirty years and the vendor is not developing their product to address desired user friendly features.
When fully implemented over the next two years, this significant upgrade will provide greater efficiencies to library workflows, improve library services such as a better user experience for faculty and students to find library materials, offer integration with D2L, and lead to cost savings. With all OhioLINK member libraries migrating to this LSP, it will enhance integration of services and resources and provide a one stop shop for searching for and borrowing items.
