This summer both Heterick Memorial Library and the Taggart Law Library, along with all OhioLINK institutions, will implement a new library services platform and search interface. The Libraries will be migrating to Ex Libris’ Alma and Primo VE, replacing the current library catalog, main search box, and backend systems.
A library services platform is used to manage fundamental library functions like checking materials in and out, managing orders and subscriptions, and organizing resources for library user searching and access. The Alma library services platform will modernize and streamline resource management and enable the ONU libraries to deliver a high-quality user experience with seamless access to materials.
This system will be up and running in June 2025 and we will work to minimize disruptions for users in the weeks leading up to the launch date. Updates will be shared throughout the migration, including information on service changes or interruptions as the new system is configured. Most library resources will remain available throughout the migration including library databases.
Dates to keep in mind:
