The University of Melbourne partners with Clarivate on suite of library solutions for new platform

The University of Melbourne has signed a new deal with transformative intelligence provider Clarivate to provide a new suite of library solutions and services. 

Clarivate will provide new library management systems, information resource discovery, and sharing and subject reading lists, creating a new user-focused library systems platform.

Library users will be able to access resources using advanced discovery systems, streamline operations and enhance data-driven decision making. Using academic AI and linked data, the solutions will enhance learning and teaching, research and the border experience at the university.

"The collaboration between the University of Melbourne and Clarivate dates back two decades. We are very proud to collaborate with the University again to transform its library systems and drive scholarly success,” comments Asaf Kline, Vice President of Academic Libraries solutions at Clarivate. “Our proven solutions enable libraries to enhance their operational efficiency and effectiveness, driving impactful change and delivering improved user experiences for both students and faculty."

Gwenda Thomas, Director, Scholarly Services and University Librarian at the University of Melbourne, adds: "Our important work in Scholarly Services builds and manages one of the most diverse and significant collections of scholarly and research resources in Australia. The implementation of the Alma platform will align the University with leading institutions globally, as it is a proven, flexible, and integrated solution currently used by over 2,700 libraries worldwide."

Earlier this year, the University of Melbourne’s Mobile Learning Unit selected Rimini Street to manage its Salesforce operations. The Mobile Learning Unit will use Rimini Street’s Salesforce services to strengthen course delivery, case management, and student support operations.
