The Purdue University Libraries are live with Aeon
Virginia Beach, VA — The Purdue University Archives and Special Collections proudly joins a global network of nearly 120 institutions in adopting Aeon, a leading software platform designed for managing access and requests for rare and archival materials. This advancement will enable the Purdue University Libraries to significantly enhance their support for the University's teaching and research missions.
The mission of the Purdue University Archives and Special Collections, a division of Purdue University Libraries, is to support the discovery, learning, and engagement goals of Purdue University by identifying, collecting, preserving, and making available for research records and papers of enduring value created or received by the University and its employees.
The integration of Aeon will centralize operations for the staff, leading to more efficient management of researcher requests and processing queues. It will also enhance tracking of materials across multiple storage locations and offer detailed usage analytics. With Aeon, the University anticipates increased operational efficiency, enhanced security, and improved control over special collections materials, facilitating better-informed program planning for both current and future needs.
Congratulations to the Purdue University Archives and Special Collections on the successful implementation of Aeon. We warmly welcome them to the Aeon Community.
