Library Discovery System

The City University of New York (CUNY) seeks to procure a robust, web-based integrated discovery system that will seamlessly integrate with CUNY’s existing web-based library management system known as Alma.
This system will serve over 250,000 students, faculty, and staff across more than 30 libraries, offering a unified platform for accessing the wealth of resources available within our consortium. The desired discovery system must enhance the user experience, streamline library workflows, and support the diverse needs of our academic community.

By meeting requirements, the proposed discovery system will uniquely fit the needs of CUNY Libraries, leveraging our existing Alma infrastructure to provide a comprehensive, user-friendly, and efficient platform for resource discovery and access. This system will support our mission to provide equitable access to information and foster academic success across our diverse and dynamic university community.
