ARC enhancements

michael — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:56:59 +0100

ARC users have awaited enhancements for a long time, and recently the Aleph Minor Release v.20.1.0 became available, which integrates 17 new fields! This is a success for the IGeLU ARC SIWG and good news for most of the ARC users. Why only “most”? Read more →

Digitool 3.3

michael — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:57:45 +0100

As DigiTool customers will already have heard from ExLibris, the roadmap for Rosetta has changed, with the product now scheduled to become part of the first version of the URM. This new roadmap will delay the launch of Rosetta, and so ExLibris have decided to launch a new minor version of DigiTool before the end of 2010 (DigiTool 3.3). Read more →

Voyager upgrades and new releases

michael — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:04:07 +0100

We still have a little time to thrash out the details, and hope to learn from the experiences of Primo and DigiTool. Read more →

Trialling NERS

michael — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:59:34 +0100

NERS was used for the first time by Primo customers in December 2009, in order to vote on a list of forty enhancements. These had been filtered from a much larger list sent to the Ex-Libris Primo Product Manager, Gilad Gal. As the Primo customers were pioneers there were some predictable glitches in getting the system working but the process was ultimately successful. Read more →
