An image of a modern library utilizing cloud-based digital resource management systems. The scene shows library staff working with computers and users interacting with a digital catalog on screens and mobile devices. The background features bookshelves and a large computer screen displaying search results from a digital library catalog. The interface includes advanced search options, personal account management, and citation exporting features. A cloud icon or symbol can represent the cloud infrastructure in the system, with an overall modern and streamlined design.

The National Library of Spain (BNE) has adopted the Alma digital resource management and Primo discovery platform from Ex Libris™. This upgrade replaces older systems to improve both user experience and staff efficiency, particularly in lending, cataloging, and managing serial publications. The cloud-based model enhances infrastructure management and introduces advanced features, including automated collection processes like Legal Deposit. For users, new tools include personalized consultation areas, advanced search features, and mobile readiness, providing a modernized interface for accessing resources.

The new catalog can be accessed online at: BNE catalog.
