LONDON, UK, October 19, 2017 - Ex Libris ®, a ProQuest company, is pleased to announce that BIBSYS-the agency of the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research that provides library services to universities and colleges, research institutions, and the National Library-has chosen the Ex Libris Leganto SM reading list solution after an exhaustive tendering process.

The first nine institutions that will use the solution under the national framework are Agder University, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences and Molde University College; Nord University, Norwegian University of Life Sciences and, Oslo and Akershus University College; University College of Southeast Norway, Vestlandet University College and Østfold University College.

When evaluating reading list systems, BIBSYS's objective was to select a modern solution that has a clear focus on both current and future requirements of students, teaching staff and librarians. The agency sought a reading list system that would produce clean, simple, and uniformly structured reading lists that can be easily accessed and managed and would support the BIBSYS consortial environment. Such a system would help BIBSYS fulfill its vision of contributing to an effective teaching and learning environment in institutions across the country.

"Various project reports stated that course materials are hard for students to find and there is often a lack of coordination between library collections and teaching and learning requirements," explained BIBSYS Director Frode Arntsen. "Leganto will overcome these issues, simplifying the processes involved in creating, providing, and accessing reading lists. Instructors will be able to easily build and maintain reading lists for their students, and we anticipate that communication among subject coordinators, administrative staff, and libraries will improve considerably.

"Leganto will help ensure that member libraries have relevant collections and subscriptions based on course needs, and that the resources that libraries already hold become instantly available to instructors and students. Another key consideration for us was Ex Libris' commitment regarding Leganto's ability to integrate with existing products and services from BIBSYS and other campus systems, such as copyright licensing, curriculum management and student administration systems."

Ofer Mosseri, corporate vice president and general manager of Ex Libris EMEA, commented, "BIBSYS is already using the Ex Libris Alma ® library services platform and Primo ® discovery and delivery solution. The decision by BIBSYS to add Leganto confirms the comprehensiveness of the Ex Libris library services vision. Our solutions provide seamless integration and efficient workflows across the teaching, learning, and library experience."

This profile was created in conjunction with Ryan Buller, Access Services Librarian at the University of Denver.

Q: When are you planning to implement?
A: We are currently mid-implementation. We are also attempting to migrate historical data from Ares to Leganto. Classes start soon, so we hope to be live within the next week or two.

Q: What is the major benefit you hope to see as a result of your institutions use of Leganto?
A: We hope to see a more streamlined process than our current system. This includes the desire for faculty to be able to submit reading lists themselves. We also like that SIPX is incorporated into the workflow. We believe having everything in one system will be very helpful.

Q: What do you see as the major challenge you'll encounter in getting your community of users to utilize Leganto?
A: We think the biggest challenge will be internal, determining how much we want to open up the tool and promote all of the possibilities to faculty members. Right now, it is a very controlled process, so opening up to faculty and allowing them to submit reading lists themselves may take some convincing.

Q: How will you measure success?
A: Success will be measured by getting feedback from faculty and students. We have shown Leganto to a few faculty, and they seem very excited by what they have seen. If we see more faculty using the service, that would also be indicative of success.

Q: How can the user group best be of help to you?
A: Keep the communications going in the Leganto listserv. These have been very helpful.

Q: How do you see Leganto contributing to the positioning of your library within your University?
A: I don't know that we see this making a significant impact since it is really a different vendor for a service that is already offered. If the service improves because of the new tool, then that is great, but I don't really see the library's position in the university changing as a result of it.
