The JULAC consortium in Hong Kong has migrated individual ILSs to a Shared ILS using Alma and Primo. The migration was intended to bring opportunities to enhance discovery, access and efficiency in the digital life cycle of a combined collection of over 18 million from eight member libraries. This panel discussion started with a brief presentation on the background and implementation process. It followed by three panelists sharing on achievements, challenges and prospects both from institutional and consortium perspectives. They also shared on the gaps in expectation and actual outcome.
