The brief

The University of East Anglia requires a Library Services Platform (LSP) for the Library with integrated management of all functions specified (discovery, electronic resource management, acquisitions, metadata management, circulation, inventory, management information, user management, financial management) and full data flows ensuring data is only ever entered once in support of all functions.

The platform will replace the current main suite of management and discovery software: the Aleph Library Management System, SFX Link Resolver and potentially the EBSCO Discovery Service.

The Library Management System and Discovery web interface will need to be installed and commissioned during a period when fewer students are on campus.

The Library Team has identified the summer break of 2019 (15th June to 22nd September 2019) as the most suitable time.

The system will need to be fully operational by 31st August 2019.
