LONDON, May 30, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a leading global
provider of transformative intelligence, today announces that 500
institutions around the world have selected the Rialto™ books
marketplace solution with Florida Atlantic
University as the 500th customer. This milestone, achieved
in just a few years, underscores Rialto's rapid adoption and
success in transforming the way libraries acquire and manage their
academic book collections so they can best serve their
communities.
Audrey Marcus, Senior Vice
President, Books Business Unit, Clarivate said: "Rialto has rapidly
grown to a sophisticated solution that benefits academic libraries
of all sizes by creating greater efficiencies and transforming
collection development. We look forward to continuing our
partnership with the user community to deliver forward thinking
innovations that support librarians."
Dr. Linda Marie Golian-Lui, Dean
of University Libraries at Florida Atlantic
University, said: "We are excited to adopt Rialto and look
forward to the benefits this software will provide our library
staff and our library users. The integration of Rialto with our
online integrated library system, Alma, provides beneficial
real-time budget tracking for our library staff, and the platform
offers several features that will improve collaboration across our
team. This product also provides significant efficiencies in
ordering and receiving critical library resources for our library
users."
Rialto uses a marketplace approach that makes selecting and
acquiring library resources fast, accurate and transparent. The
platform's features include:
- Comprehensive marketplace: Libraries can search, select
and order from more than 20 leading publisher and aggregator
platforms within a single, easy-to-use marketplace. Rialto
eliminates the need to purchase separately from individual
platforms to simplify invoicing and enable libraries to build rich,
diverse collections.
- Utilizing the power of AI: Since the very beginning,
Rialto has harnessed Artificial Intelligence to deliver the most
relevant insights and recommendations to selectors. Recommendation
feeds can be customized to meet the unique needs of each library
and support data-driven decision-making based on past purchases and
patron engagement.
- Seamless workflow: Rialto greatly reduces manual
workloads through its unification with Alma™, the
library services platform used by more than 2,500 institutions
worldwide, creating unmatched selection and acquisition workflow
efficiencies for librarians.
Florida Atlantic University has
joined libraries such as The University of South Australia, University of Central Florida and University of Edinburgh in the Rialto user
community. Since its launch, Rialto has continued to evolve,
incorporating feedback from its diverse customer base and expanding
its capabilities to address emerging challenges in the library
landscape.
