Alexander Street Press
Alexander Street Press brings together the skills of traditional publishing,
librarianship, and software development to create quality electronic
collections. We believe that an electronic publication should:
- Be carefully crafted by expert editors around a specific subject or
discipline.
-
Detail all materials relevant to the subject, whatever their original
form or ownership.
-
Contain as many of these materials as possible, in multiple formats
if necessary.
-
Be indexed with controlled vocabularies for precise, exhaustive searching.
-
Provide unique ways of searching, viewing, exploring and analyzing
the material.
-
Facilitate contributions from scholars and librarians.
-
Be priced to enable unlimited exploration by users.
We are creating a series of products using these values.

Ex Libris
The Ex Libris Group is a worldwide pioneer in the field of software
solutions for libraries and information centers. The development
of the Ex Libris ALEPH system commenced in 1980, when a team
of librarians, systems analysts, and programmers took on the
challenge of creating an automated library system that was
efficient, user-friendly, and multilingual. The result was
the first generation of ALEPH.
Identifying and fulfilling the requirements for a superior integrated
library system have served as
the technological springboard for the Ex Libris Group. Today, with
four working generations of software in hand, Ex Libris continues
to set the standards for library and information systems. The Company's
responsive research and development team, which includes members
of the original ALEPH development group, works closely with current
and potential customers to turn new ideas into cutting-edge technologies.
Ex Libris aims to combine software strengths and library acumen
to provide real solutions for the constantly evolving needs of
libraries and information centers.
