The cloud-based SaaS has demonstrated successes with complex consortial systems and will achieve OhioLINK’s user-centered vision

LONDON, Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — OhioLINK, Ohio’s academic library consortium, announces the selection of Ex Libris Alma, part of Clarivate™ (NYSE: CLVT), as the consortium’s next shared library services platform. The new cloud-based platform will enhance library user experiences and services, improve efficiencies for day-to-day operations, and streamline collaboration and consortial functionality. The implementation process for OhioLINK’s 117 member libraries is expected to take up to two years.

In addition to Alma, OhioLINK will implement Primo VE and a suite of related products, including Leganto, Rapido, and Library Mobile, that will enhance services for users, library staff, and administration. Leganto will add core integration with on-campus learning management systems.

“This investment bolsters Ohio’s higher education technology infrastructure,” said Randy Gardner, Chancellor of the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE). OhioLINK is a member of the Ohio Technology Consortium, a division of ODHE. “Supporting our academic libraries’ expanded role in educating students and R&D innovation in fields such as biomedicine, agriculture, and advanced manufacturing is essential.”

OhioLINK’s Executive Director Amy Pawlowski led the creation of the consortium’s selection and planning process and negotiated the contract for the new library services platform.

“Libraries have made tremendous shifts to supporting research, teaching, and learning through electronic resources over the last 20 years,” Pawlowski said. “We are excited to be collaborating with Ex Libris on a system that will manage the full range of our collections, as well as expand services to support faculty and students.”

Ken Burhanna, Dean of Libraries at Kent State University, served as chair of OhioLINK’s ILS Selection/Planning Team. “Our team’s decision was based in how well the systems met current and future consortium and library needs, including the user-focused priorities defined in OhioLINK’s 2020 whitepaper,” Burhanna said.

Yariv Kursh, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Ex Libris and Innovative said, “It is a testament to our partnership that OhioLINK has chosen to extend our relationship beyond being an Innovative customer and join the growing Alma community of over 2,500 institutions spanning the globe.

“Our mission is to provide our customers more unified library workflows by incorporating AI and Linked Data solutions that make it easier for researchers, faculty, and patrons to take full advantage of the libraries’ extensive collections and the rich metadata that surrounds them. We are delighted that OhioLINK is joining us in this mission.”

The OhioLINK consortium has worked for more than 30 years to ensure that all member libraries have expanded access to shared print and electronic resources at greatly reduced pricing. Capital funding awarded in June 2022 leverages OhioLINK’s cooperative purchasing power and shared technical expertise for its 89 member institutions.

Bitget Wallet Lists Ecosystem Token BWB on Native Launchpad, Seeks to Capitalize on Market Momentum

Published

on

bitget-wallet-lists-ecosystem-token-bwb-on-native-launchpad,-seeks-to-capitalize-on-market-momentum

VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bitget Wallet, one of the largest multi-chain wallets, has announced that its official ecosystem token will be listed on its native launchpad from May 23, 18:00 (UTC+8). This move marks a significant milestone in Bitget Wallet’s commitment to revolutionizing the digital asset landscape and providing users with unparalleled opportunities for growth and engagement.

Users who have accumulated at least $200 worth of transactions in the month of May on Bitget Swap, the wallet’s native trading platform, will be eligible for the public round of the launchpad.

“For a project to launch its own token, careful and robust consideration of various factors have to be made,” Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet comments. “A clear understanding of a project’s unique value proposition on the market, together with a strong community to back it, are paramount requirements that need to be met before a token launch. We are satisfied that these conditions have been adequately met at this point in time, which have led us to this strategic move.”

BWB Tokenomics

Following the recent conclusion of the BWB Points campaign, the BWB token, set to launch on Solana, Ethereum, and Base chains, will be capped at a total supply of 1 billion. 47% of this total supply will be allocated to the community treasury and 10% will go to investors, while 5% will be reserved for the pre-TGE (token generation event) airdrop.

Aside from community governance rights, BWB can also be used to cover gas fees on multiple chains, staking, and will qualify holders for future airdrops from Bitget Wallet. The token will soon make its way to the wallet’s native launchpad.

Bitget Wallet Launchpad: Democratizing DeFi

Distinguishing Bitget Wallet from other wallets by providing new and innovative ways to improve the overall user experience has been a central focus of Bitget Wallet’s development roadmap this year. By introducing a native launchpad, the wallet aims to provide an avenue for users to better discover new and upcoming projects that have been carefully vetted by the Bitget Wallet team. In doing so, not only will users be able to better capitalize on various “low risk, high return” opportunities in the DeFi space, it also empowers retail investors to follow smart money and trends in the industry.

“The democratization of investment opportunities is an important goal that we are working towards, as this allows users to participate in high-quality projects and strengthens the participation and reward mechanism of the entire ecosystem,” Alvin says.

Being one of the first wallets on Web3 to integrate a native launchpad also means that users will be able to participate in leading projects right from the convenience of their Bitget Wallet mobile application. The launch of the platform’s ecosystem token on its very own native launchpad marks a pivotal milestone in Bitget Wallet’s aims to expand its global influence and deepen customer engagement.

About Bitget Wallet

Bitget Wallet is Asia’s largest and a leading global Web3 wallet with over 20 million users worldwide. It offers a comprehensive range of features, including asset management, intelligent market data, swap trading, launchpad, inscribing, NFT, DApp, and token earning center.
