Shared ILS Implementation

The Orbis Cascade Alliance is implementing a new library management service to be shared by all 37 members of the consortium.  Following an extensive RFP process, in July 2012 the Council of library directors decided in to enter into a contract with Ex Libris for Alma (selection, acquisition, metadata management, digitization, and fulfillment) and Primo (discovery). Implementation will proceed in four cohorts over a two-year period beginning in January 2013.
