Under One Roof: UWI’s e-Information Portal

Abstract

Aleph 500, SFX, MetaLib and Primo bring together UWI’s information resources under one roof by providing the University Libraries with an e-information portal for its users in sixteen countries of the English-speaking Caribbean. UWI’s information transformation and unification initiative began in 2006, with Aleph 500, standardizing the information platform and setting the stage for the world of electronic resources with SFX and MetaLib. Primo captures and delivers all UWI information resources in all formats from across the region into a simplified interface. All these initiatives brought geographically disperse information under one roof and fostered greater integration amongst the University Libraries.
