Presto, a tool for managing book loans in university services

13 January 2025
Bibliothèque de livres

Does your service or laboratory have a collection of books that you would like to make available to students and university colleagues? Presto can help.

Presto is a platform developed by ULiège Library to enable services and laboratories to simply and automatically manage the loan of books in their collections themselves.

With Presto, you can directly manage:

  • loans (for 1 month or 2 weeks),
  • returns,
  • renewals,
  • the people authorised to manage loans for your collection,
  • in complete autonomy,
  • via a simple interface available in French and English.

For its part, ULiège Library takes care of:

  • the training of Presto managers within the service,
  • sending reminder letters and courtesy notices to borrowers,
  • support and assistance for Presto managers,
  • the technical side (interfacing between Presto and the Alma library management system).

With Presto, you can ensure the professional management of your library holdings and help to enhance the value of the more than 100,000 works referenced by the University services and laboratories.

Three demo sessions will be organised soon:
