CEIBS Library Launched E-Resource Management Platform Alma Starter

by CEIBS Library on 2024-04-25T13:30:00+08:00 | 0 Comments

The times are changing rapidly and technology is developing at a fast pace. As an indispensable part of the smart campus construction, CEIBS Library has opened a new chapter in electronic resource management.

Many years ago, CEIBS Library no longer centered its management around paper-based resources, but instead integrated multiple types of resources for comprehensive management. However, although the existing library integrated system (ILS) performed well in paper-based resource management, it was unable to meet the complex demands of electronic resource management. How to extend the functions of the library system to the maximum and meet user needs without breaking the original platform framework became a top priority in library resource management.

In March of this year, after full investigation and comprehensive consideration of costs and benefits, CEIBS Library successfully introduced a new electronic resource management platform called Alma Starter, and matched it with the original one-stop resource discovery system, Summon. This achieved the full life cycle management of electronic resources, including budgeting, trials, procurement, online access, retrieval, statistics, evaluation and renewal, greatly improving the efficiency of resource management and service quality of the library, and further promoting the intelligent development of the library.

On April 16th, Osher Gilinsky, Vice President of Clarivate Analytics Asia Pacific, and Li Wang, Vice President of Greater China, visited CEIBS and attended the Alma Starter opening ceremony, congratulating CEIBS Library on becoming the first Alma Starter user in the Asia Pacific region. Ming Lu, Deputy Director of the Information Center, and Min Hu, Deputy Director of the Library, respectively introduced the construction of CEIBS's smart campus and the progress of the Alma Starter project. Later, Mr. Gilinsky also elaborated on Clarivate Analytics' AI development strategy and future roadmap.



Through fine metadata management, Alma Starter has created an efficient and precise resource management platform for the library. Whether it is paper-based books or electronic materials, every dimension is presented in a comprehensive and detailed way, providing the greatest convenience and optimal experience for searching and using library resources. It provides rich API interfaces that can easily integrate with multiple systems in the library. Moreover, it has the world's richest electronic resource knowledge base, which can provide automatic cataloging and updates of electronic resources, intelligent recommendations based on big data analysis, and multi-dimensional intelligent analysis tools to help the library better manage, analyze, and utilize electronic resources.


First Alma Starter Institution in the world

After years of development, CEIBS Library has gradually sorted out and integrated multiple resource management platforms, successfully streamlining the management process. In the future, the library will continue to work on expanding and improving the resource management platform, constantly exploring and innovating, and look forward to achieving unified management of all resources, seamless integration of all platforms, and real-time sharing of all data. This will greatly improve resource utilization, optimize service systems, meet the diverse information needs of teachers and students, and contribute more to the teaching and research of China Europe International Business School.
