University of Sunderland - Library Management Solution - Issue 2 - AWARD

The University of Sunderland seeks to extend current library management functionality with the delivery of a Library Management solution.

Existing core library services are based around a Library Management System which includes Alto circulation services, Prism library catalogue and a number of customised and integrated modules and enhancements. Current services fully integrate with third party services include:-
