La
Sorbonne : One of the world’s most prestigious academic libraries,
the Bibliothèque de la Sorbonne chose Millennium as
a replacement for its aging library automation system. “The adaptable and flexible structure of Millennium,
provided by APIs and Java clients, means that we will be able
to continue to follow our traditional and well-developed working
practices, ensuring that we can meet the needs of our libraries
and users,” said Marie-Bernadette Jullien, Director of
the Bibliothèque de la Sorbonne. “The high configurability
of Millennium and Innovative’s ability to meet the needs
of the Bibliothèque de la Sorbonne helped us in making
our decision. Also of particular importance was the high quality
of Millennium’s OPAC and its ability to handle our complex
in-house circulation and access-control requirements.” The Bibliothèque de la Sorbonne’s
inherited and modern collection represents approximately
3 million volumes
and 18,000 magazine titles. Specializing in human sciences,
its areas of excellence are in antiques, philosophy, history,
literature, and geography. It also has a very rich collection
of rare and precious books in the form of archives, hand-written
manuscripts, ancient books, engravings, maps, and other iconographic
documents. Jullien continued, “Finally, Innovative’s
reputation for their automation of other prestigious academic
libraries,
as well as their capacity to keep pace with information and
technological evolution, contributed to our selection of the
Millennium system.”
