The document discusses LIBISnet's implementation of Alma, Ex Libris' unified library management system. LIBISnet serves as the central library automation provider for KU Leuven University and several other institutions. It was seeking to consolidate multiple legacy systems onto a single platform to optimize workflows and extend services. After several years of testing and pilot implementations with Ex Libris, LIBISnet launched Alma in July 2014, migrating nearly 6 million bibliographic records and over 1 million patron records for 33 institutions onto the new system. Considerable training, communication, and planning went into preparing staff and ensuring a smooth transition.
