After almost six months of hard work conducted by the IT department and the Libraries, Haigazian University launched the new library system, WorldShare Management Services (WMS), thus replacing the old system OLIB.
Built by the world’s largest library community, WMS is a next-generation library services platform (LSP) that is entirely cloud based, providing library management and discovery applications in an integrated suite. It includes acquisitions, circulation, license management, metadata management, interlibrary loan, analytics and discovery.
Assistant Information Technology Services Manager, Vahe Ghorghorian shared with faculty and staff the major benefits of the system during the launch event.
Some advantages of the system include powerful and advanced search algorithms, efficiency in managing print and electronic resources, as well as having a mobile, device-ready interface.
