            London, UK – January 13, 2010. Ex Libris® Group is pleased to announce that the Bodleian L

            University of Oxford recently selected the Ex Libris Aleph® integrated library system (ILS
            university’s GEAC Advance system.
             

            The efficient, sophisticated tools and workflow support that Aleph provides enables over 2
            research, and national libraries around the world—and now also the Bodleian Libraries—to m
            changing needs of the global research community. Using built-in tools, libraries can confi

            system to support virtually any library organization, policies, and workflows. This flexib
            the Bodleian Libraries with the tools to build a library system that corresponds to the un

            needs, proved a major factor in their selection of Aleph.
            “After an intensive evaluation process we concluded that only Aleph could deliver the robu
            that we required, in conjunction with the sophistication to deal with the devolved federal

            our collegiate library system,” Dr Sarah Thomas, Bodley’s Librarian, noted. “The proven ab
            Libris to deliver large projects on schedule and on budget was a further decisive factor f
            worked closely with Ex Libris for several years, we feel that our vision for the future is

            Company’s long-term strategy,” Dr Thomas added.
            “We are delighted that the Bodleian Libraries have chosen Aleph to manage their outstandin
            collections,” commented Matti Shem Tov, president and CEO of Ex Libris. “It is a pleasure 

            our collaboration with Oxford, which currently runs a number of Ex Libris solutions. The s
            the “SOLO:Search Oxford Libraries Online” system, powered by Primo, which provides a singl
            and delivery interface for a huge range of library collections, has paved the way for this

            project.”
