Eastern Michigan University Library Goes Live with Alma and Summon Integration

Eastern Michigan University Library and Ex Libris®, a ProQuest company, are pleased to announce that Eastern Michigan University has gone live with the Ex Libris Alma® library services platform integrated with the Ex Libris Summon® discovery service. The first library to implement this integrated solution, Eastern Michigan now benefits from improved resource management workflows and an optimized resource discovery experience. Alma replaces the Ex Libris Voyager® integrated library system while the university has retained Summon (known locally as Esearch) as the preferred discovery service.

Eastern Michigan’s migration to Alma and the unification of the management and discovery of physical and electronic resources represent a significant step forward for the university library. It is already experiencing greater efficiency through the automation of many processes and the tight integration of services. Over a dozen libraries plan to implement the integrated Alma-Summon solution in the coming months.
