Bristol, UK, October 28, 2009. Infor, the exclusive distributor of AquaBrowser® Library in Great Britain and Republic of Ireland, today announced that the Arts University College at Bournemouth in Poole, UK, has implemented the AquaBrowser search and discovery platform by Medialab Solutions BV. Using AquaBrowser, the Arts University College Library provides faculty and staff dynamic access to a diverse and rich collection of books, e-resources, journals, newspapers and audiovisual materials.

Says Julia Waite, Head of Library & Information Services at the University College at Bournemouth Library:

“We wanted to offer our students a way of searching the catalogue that mirrored more closely the web applications which they are using in their personal lives. We chose AquaBrowser as it offered the most appropriate solution for us: it will be popular with our students as it offers familiar web 2.0 options and allows better intuitive searching. The word cloud allows online browsing within the catalogue and will appeal to our art, design, media and performance students who are very visually focused.”

AquaBrowser has been implemented with the Heritage library management system from IS Oxford. Visit the AquaBrowser implementation at: www.aucb.ac.uk/catalogue
