All Sessions

Kuali OLE (pronounced oh-lay) is in the first year of building a community-source library management system that takes advantage of existing Kuali Foundation software. Operating since July 2010, and supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Kuali OLE is one of the largest academic library software collaborations in the United States. This program will provide an overview of our current software release and how you can get involved with Kuali OLE at your library.

This session of the ERM Interest Group focuses on the role that library initiated ERMS continue to play in the ERM marketplace. Major developments are taking place with the focus on ILS and ERM integration in systems such as ExLibris’ ALMA, Innovative’s Sierra and the Kuali OLE project but many libraries still choose to develop their own ERMS or turn to solutions created and offered by other libraries such as CUFTS, CORAL, ERMes and Gold Rush. This session includes presentations from representatives of these library initiated ERMS and will highlight the value and impact that these systems continue to have on the ERMS marketplace both now and in the future.

Partners from the Kuali OLE (Open Library Environment) project will demonstrate the latest release of OLE software, which will allow libraries to develop workflows breaking away from print-based models and reflecting the changing nature of library materials. Features include: a ‘format-agnostic’ document store that can include structured content (e.g. MARCXML) and unstructured content (e.g. PDF licenses); workflow tools (e.g. action lists, batch-processing tools); and integration tools. Partners will discuss migration and implementation plans.
