Why is the Library migrating to a new system?
-
Usability: This new system should provide an improvement to the usability of existing systems, focusing on
-
Streamlined patron services
-
Emphasis on accessibility
-
Integration with campus systems
-
-
Collaboration: Butler University Libraries is part of the Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI), with whom we share our current library system. This new library system will enable deeper collaboration and new forms of shared work.
-
Sustainability: Our current system comes from a sole-source vendor and is no longer viable due to rising costs. We are moving towards a multiple vendor setup that allows us to focus on the specific needs of our patrons.
