Case Study: Rothamsted Research achieves streamlined library management with Soutron

Rothamsted Research Use Soutron for Their Library Management Solution

Rothamsted Research, a world-leading agricultural research centre and home to one of the UK’s oldest specialist agricultural libraries, needed a new library management system in 2016 to replace an end-of-life platform. They wanted a simple, cost-effective, hosted solution with responsive support, fast implementation, and easy data export to better share information with stakeholders.

Soutron provided Rothamsted Library with its flexible, fully managed cloud-based library management system, including self-service, API integrations, SSO, and automated import/export tools. The new system reduced manual processing time, enabled real-time metadata feeds to the corporate website and analytics service, cut publication record loading time by half, eliminated manual account creation, and gave staff responsive support while freeing them to focus on core library work.
