GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN, 12 August 2010 – SirsiDynix today announced that the University Library of Southern Denmark (Syddansk Universitetsbibliotek or SDUB) is now using SirsiDynix Symphony to serve its diverse community needs. The library, which is used by students and researchers at the University of Southern Denmark as well as members of the local and international community, selected Symphony to replace their SirsiDynix Horizon integrated library system, becoming the first library in Denmark to adopt the flagship integrated library system from SirsiDynix.

Staff at SDUB selected Symphony following a detailed and thorough evaluation over a period of two years. Positive references from other universities using Symphony in Sweden and in the UK were a deciding factor.

"It has been a pleasure to work together with the people involved from SirsiDynix," said Bjarne Christensen, head of internal processes for SDUB. Implementation commenced at the start of 2010 and was completed on time in a period of six months. According to Bjarne, "That isn’t the normal way an ITproject will go."

"We are delighted to welcome the University Library of Southern Denmark to the community of thousands of Symphony users around the world," said Matt Hawkins, chief operating officer for SirsiDynix. "We are privileged to extend our working relationship with the University Library, and we are confident that we can help them meet their goals of expedient and user-friendly service to their community."
