Library automation solutions provider Ex Libris Group, Israel, has announced that numerous academic and research libraries in Europe have selected the Primo discovery and delivery solution. In addition, several existing customers have supplemented their Primo offering with the Primo Central Index and the bX Recommender, while other institutions have expanded their successful Primo implementations.
The new Primo sites include the University of Liège (Belgium); Interuniversity Library of Cujas (France); Fraunhofer Society (a research association with 60 affiliated institutes in Germany); University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany); University of Oldenburg (Germany); State Library of Oldenburg (Germany); Jade University of Applied Sciences (Germany); Anglia Ruskin University (UK); Buckinghamshire New University (UK); University of Bath (UK); and University of Northampton (UK).
The Consortium of Icelandic Libraries, a Primo customer since 2009, recently added the Primo Central Index of scholarly electronic resources and the bX Recommender service to its Primo installation. Leipzig University and nine affiliated institutions, which use an open-source discovery system, have also adopted Primo Central and the bX Recommender.
In addition, as a result of their successful experience with Primo over the past three years, ETH-Bibliothek in Zurich and the Austrian Library Network and Services Ltd. (OBVSG) consortium in Austria have expanded their Primo licenses to include all their member institutions.
