It was the last year that the first libraries entered into the production phase with Alma, the next generation library system of Ex Libris.  Alma with the Unified Resource Management framework (URM) is designed to consolidate the library management systems on the different resources, the print, electronic and digital as well.  We illustrate in the lecture how Alma optimizes the libraries’ workflows through shared data and collaborative services and how Alma increases the value and acceptance of the library for the mother institute offering more accurate creative easy to use information, hence contributing to the quality of the teaching and research activities. All that comes from the Alma cloud services.
