The British Library for Development Studies at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) has chosen Rebus:list – the new reading list management system from PTFS Europe. Rebus:list offers a significant advance in cost effective management of the entire workflow involved in the delivery and presentation of reading lists. With an elegant user interface, a comprehensive web services API and a contemporary software architecture, Rebus:list delivers truly seamless integration with any library system, eDiscovery service and VLE. Rebus:list offers libraries a real alternative when choosing a new reading list management system.
Helen Rehin, Deputy Librarian, British Library for Development Studies outlined their reasons for choosing Rebus:list: “We are very pleased to be implementing Rebus:list and look forward to being able to provide our users with a radically enriched experience of finding and using course resources, and our staff with an improved and streamlined workflow in the management and maintenance of resource lists. We are particularly excited about the rate of enhancements and development to the system, and we hope that this will mean continued improvement and innovation in the way that lists can be used.”
Nick Phipps, Rebus:list Business Manager at PTFS Europe said: “We are delighted that the British Library for Development Studies has chosen Rebus:list. It not only delivers the functionality demanded by major academic libraries, Rebus:list meets needs of smaller academic libraries too.”
