Aleph

Overview

Aleph is the Center's Integrated Library System (ILS). We only use the Cataloging and, to a lesser extent, Acquisitions modules. Before going live with our Primo discovery layer, Aleph's Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) was the public's main platform for searching for and requesting collection materials. Before going live with Aeon, we also used the Circulation module. As with DigiTool, Rosetta, Metalib, and Primo, Aleph is owned by Ex Libris.
